so im finally moving back home to the 305 this spring ...i decided to hold off tinting my windows here in NC (as1/28/15/15 vs. as1/35/35/35)

my friend advised me to 15% all around...and i see his point because the heat actually melted the "leather" (read: it was an american made truck so it was probably pleather) wrap on the steering wheel of my last car down there...but at the same time i've heard of people dealin with cops on a bad day...

basically i dont want to roll down my windows everytime i see a cop, keep getting tickets or god forbid have to take it off and deal with re-tinting...

should i go with 15%? 20%? is 28% enough?

please advise/post your tints

 

go with 15%, if u get pulled over alot for speeding then go with 20%.

Cops wont just stop u for tint, but they will tack it onto a speeding ticket

 

I would go with 20%

 

i got 5% and im in the 305. have had the car for a year (well, march 13 will be a year) and havent had a single problem with the tint. i have even been pulled over for speeding and still no issues with the tint.

 

I live in Miami and I have always had illegal tints. Be it 5% or 15%... I have only gotten ticketed for 5% but never the 15%. Believe it ir not, you can still see quite well out, and your figure can still be seen through it...

But of course, if you are already being stopped for a different offense, it is always good to roll down all the windows in an efforts to show good faith in the ticketing officer....

 

5% I'm in the 239

 

what is the 239??

 

thanks for the info...this is exactly why i love CL ...i think im going to go with the 15% and with 3M...if anyone knows a good installer they've used before in miami let me know...thanks

 

if u want the best heat reduction then go for ceramic tint.

 

It's the area code.

 

i live in boca, work in miami...i have 15% which i've had on all of my previous cars...never a problem (knock on wood)

 

Just get the tint allowed by law. It really isn't that hard to do, although the law seems to be treated as a suggestion in matters like this one. Is your vanity really worth a ticket and paying to retint?

 

Moved here........

 

I have 15% all around and never had a problem!

 

i never heard of a cop pulling people over in fl for tint LOL

my friend has a SHO, 3% tint (SUCKS FOR DRIVING LOL) but he has never been pulled over.
