Default Tint Advice

Hey Guys,

I live over in Bergen County, NJ and I was thinking about getting tints on my Smokey Mica Grante IS350. Now my dilemna is the front window tints as they are illegal in NJ. Do you guys think I should test my luck with the cops or follow the law?

I was planning to do 35% tints all around

I have an extreme dislike for Bergen cops. As far as I am concerned they could be thrown in the deepest ditch in the ocean.

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't you have to take your car to a state run inspection every year or 2 and I heard they won't pass ur inspection if u have tints? I'm from PA where we can go to any corner shop for inspection and they don't even bother looking at the car half the time. They just slap the stickers on.
