Numerous questions:
What's the "typical" tint most are using?
Same for front windows and rear? (I have a sedan)
Had any problems with crossing state lines? (I live in OH but travel a lot to WNY)
Any tips/advise from experiences you've had?

 

I guess it depends on how legal you want to drive around and the look you want for your car
i have 20% in front and 10% in the rears, can't even tell the different unless lots of sun is shinning on the windows then you can see through the fronts more..to be safe you can check what the legal tint is and do that, or do what i do and put the front windows down each time a cop passes by

 

I have 20 in back and 35 in front. No problems with cops and i live in **** controlled California

 

+ to the above guy had no problems.

 

I'm at 20% all around. I think the legal limit in my state is 35% front/20% rear, but I don't really have any problems.

 

Anythang...I got 5%...F*ck the police

 

thx all.

So roadrunner, I can just mail any tickets I may receive if I go that dark to you? ;-)

 

I had "about" 35% on my Civic before I sold it.

 

i have 20% wish it was 35% though

 

i run 35% rear 15% rear but i have a doctors note, so eff the police!

 

I had 20% all around, with a 5% windshield banner, on my '08 Si coupe. It was a little dark at night, but awesome during the day. Even though the legal limit for front side windows is 35% here, I never got hassled for it. It just depends on your area.

 

I had 20% all around on my hatch but 20% is legal in Texas.

Look around and ask whats the darkest you can get.

 

Here is a link to what the laws are state to state. You front windows can't be more than 50%, the backs don't have a limit it appears. As long as your tint is legal in the state where your car is registered than other states that you travel to can not right you a ticket regardless of their laws.

Mine tint is legal in FL but I have been given crap in other states. It is a good idea to have a copy of what I linked just so you can show a cop if you had too. I have 25% up front and 15 in the back.

 

My friend has a car with front and rear tints minor. As long as you put your driver license inside the car next to the window and can see clear and read the words. It is fine for you in NY.

 

depends on the state because 35% in new jersey is not legal, I got 2 tickes for having window tint in driver side n passenger side

 

In Michigan, the top 4" of the windshield and two front windows can be tinted, and 35% on all the other windows but cops don't really enforce the back windows.
I bought my car with the stock blue-ish strip on the windshield, Limo or 5% on the back, 35% on the rear quarter windows, and 50% on the fronts. Never got pulled over because of the tint specifically but one cop said I took a corner a little fast, didn't have my headlights on (parking lights were on and it was like 7:30, the street lights weren't even on) and also my tint. Never got a ticket for it though, maybe because my car is black and with the tint they expect somebody else driving and once they get to the car they see an innocent looking kid driving lol

 

Careful there. The linked pages very clearly states:
The glass doesn't transmit 100% of visible light.
50% tint is illegal in Ohio.

 

20% rear 35% front


NJ registration but living in florida
Been in florida two years and nothing, lived in illinois for two years and nothing
visited back home nj for 1 1/2 weeks and got stopped three days in and questioned my tint. let me off with a warning because i was in my uniform, lucky i guess but NJ probably had the gayest motor vehicle system/ laws ever. gotta love jersey though
