Going to have my front windows tinted this weekend, just up in the air about how dark or what shade. Please post a pic and details on the %

 

20% is whats on mines.


Click my pic link in my sig. Its the 2nd pic on top left corner.


Good luck.

 

im getting mine done this weekend too, im doin 20% up front to match the rear 2 and a 5% strip along the top of the window. Ill post pics when i get it all done

 

Don't ride through Georgia, we just re-did the tint laws, and the law will bust your @$$. We can have a strip, but not the whole window. Georgia did have a law but got it got voted unconstitutional b/c of other states law allow in tint darker than 35%. The cops started complaining while everyone rushed out and got limo tint and then the state put the old rule back in effect but it goes for everyone including out of state drivers. No matter what your laws state, Georgia will give you a ticket.

 

I drive through Georgia and they can suck my $%#@!!! If I get a ticket I will be pissed and pay it so I don't have a warrant, but giving an out of state vehicle with different laws a ticket is ridiculous.

 

20% tint with 5% on top of it. Will post a pic tomorrow.

 

I have 5% on the back and 10% up front and no problems here and the cops won't say anything in most cases if you have your window down before they approach the vehicle.
I had 5% on my Eclipse for 8 years with no hassles.

 

i went with 15% to match the back,3 mouths later i did all the back at 5% and the frount windsheld at 35%.very illegal,but it looks goodand dark.

 

Tell me about it....I was pumping gas and a trooper flew past me and turned around to come back to get me. Every car/truck had tint but he came straigt to me and checked. It was on my '86 and of course it was 5%, he made me pill it off or I was going to get a ticket. Then I was a broke high school kid but now I would have told him to

 

I also do the windows down technique if i ever get pulled over.

 

Georgia, one of the hottest frigging states going and they want to ticket someone for tint, especially someone from out of state... I don't think so.

You see, the Constitution of these frigging United States entitles these 50 some odd states to assign their own rights and privileges to their citizenry as they deem necessary or fit.

For one state to impun(sp?) the rights of another is, therefore, unconstituional. Georgia is not lord and master over the rest of the US and it is impetuous of them to think and/or act as though they are.

No, I would not "...pay the ticket...", I'd take it and attach it to the back of a suit that I would be filing in federal court to put an end to such ridiculous nonsense.

If they want to pass a law about "tint", if anything, they should pass one that makes it mandatory for the occupants of the vehicle being stopped to roll down the windows prior to the officers approaching said vehicle and let it go at that.

 

52 states? Lordy...

 

30% Solar Guard..matches pretty well.

 

I have 35% on the front windows. I did this before I tinted over the factory tinted rears. I have 20% over the rear windows now.
Either way I looks awesome. It is not too dark and not darker than the rears.

If you go more than 35% on the front without doing the rear, they will be DARKER.

this is 35% on the doors with a layer of 20% on rears

 

a layer of 20% all around and then a layer of 5% on top of that all around

 

Spend a little time and you'll find a lot of pictures in some of these threads... https://www.yotatech.com/search.php?searchid=905562

 

Georgia's New Window Tint Law

H.B. 20 (Window Tint) - Amends 40-8-73.1 - Effective May 2, 2005

Revives the window tint statute which was recently found unconstitutional by the Georgia Supreme Court with some minor modifications.


Makes it a misdemeanor to violate specified window-tint restrictions

· Applies to both residents & non-residents.

· No window tinting on front windshield.

· On windows to either side of driver or in back of vehicle, the light transmission restriction may not be less than 32%, plus or minus 3% or increase light reflectance more than 20%.

· Labels indicating that tinted windows meet state specifications are no longer required.

Exceptions:

1. Sun visors mounted on front windshields.

2. On front windshields - lower left and right corners in a 5" or 7" square (respectively).

3. On front windshields - Passenger Common Carrier Signs meeting statutory specifications.

4. Upper most 6" on front windshield can have a transparent item which is not red or amber.

5. Any Federal, state or county required stickers may be placed as required

6. Rear windshields & side windows behind the driver of a:

a. Multipurpose passenger vehicle

b. School bus

c. Public transportation bus

d. Non-profit bus

e. Limousines

f. Windows tinted before factory delivery

g. Tinting otherwise expressly permitted by federal law

7. Anywhere on law enforcement vehicle.


The DPS (DMVS until July 1) may issue dark tinting permits to persons with special medical needs requiring tinting. Any GA Installer installing tinting in violation of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Please refer to the bill for exceptions. (The bill can be viewed by clicking on the following link: http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/2...ltext/hb20.htm.)

Taken form the state page. I think they will amend the non-resident part.

 

I guess I'll avoid Nazi Georgia.

States can do what they want but to enforce a restriction on a non-resident that in their home state is perfectly legal is unconstitutional;I'm sure that'll really help their tourism industry since they won't be getting any of my money in that state.

 

Mine are gold mirrored. No idea what %.

 

Illegal to tint windshield and front windows in NJ.
