Hi folks,

So with my impending move into the area, I started to research potential issues I would have with taking my car there.

I'll primarily be in NJ, but would probably drive to Philly on occasion (definitely not driving into NYC though). Currently, I have 35% in the front and 20% in the back on a silver car so it doesn't look too dark. But being that I'll already stand out with CA plates, I'd rather just avoid the hassle and take the front film off before the move if it were going to be an issue.

Aside from the tint and plates, I don't have any mods that bring a whole lot of attention. 6000k headlights and fogs are about it, everything else is stock

Thanks in advance

Central NJ / New Brunswick area for me.

Really depends, I know a lot of people who drive around with tints and don't have issues. But if the cop really wants to screw you, that would be an item he can get you with.

But at the end of the day, if a cop really wanted to get you for something he or she will find something. I got a ticket for my WORK license plate frame obstructing the word NJ on my license plate. Also got another fix it ticket back in the day for my college parking pass hanging off my rear view mirror as it would obstruct my view.

Like everybody mentioned it all depends on the cop. I use to have 5% all around on my Nissan 240 for 2yrs and never got pulled over by a cop or trooper. I would keep it until you get pulled over lol.

What type of interior do u have. Thats can make a difference. I had my tinits for 3 years now and never got pulled over. NY-NJ area. And my car is black but 35 all around. I like tj's answer. Lol.

I have 35% tint all around (except windshield.. lol) with no front plates and I live in E. Brunswick
Only Milltown cops you would have to worry..... They are a small town and are really enforcing the laws...

But then most places around central NJ (Brunswicks, Edison... etc etc) are all good

Cool, thanks for the input. It' s a black interior so it does look a bit darker at times. I just figured that the CA plates would bring additional unwanted attention to my car and tints would be the easiest ticket to give.

The shore towns can be a real PIA. Other than that haven't had any problems. Darker then 35 on the fronts usually is when they start bothering.

I have 35% all around I live in Holmdel. Again it depends on the town I've been pulled over three times for tints, one from state trooper and second from a town cop in Red Bank and the third time in Elizabeth. State trooper, and Red Bank cop let me off since I'm military. However Elizabeth i received 2 tickets one for no plate in the front and tints.

If you are keeping your Cali plates they can't enforce statutes outside of NJ. I ran with 5% tint on my GS400 and FL plates for 3 years in NJ and didn't get pulled over once.

Only be able to keep the plates for up to 90 days since I need re-register the car in NJ. Worst case scenario, I'll bump this thread up in a couple of months asking for tint shop recommendations to remove the stuff

still depends on the cop cares or not
A friend of mine from cali has been using his cali plates for over 2 years and all he had to do is to postpone the inspection lol

In my case I still had my primary residence in FL so I was able to renew my registration there. Plus no inspection in FL. You can also see if you qualify for an medical exemption and keep your tint http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Licenses/sunscreening.htm
