I live in N.Y gettin a black stang
I dont want to get pulled over a lot what would be a good tint p[ercentage?

 

NY state says 35% is legal for the front driver side and passenger windows, other windows (aside from the windshield) is 20%. I have 20% all around and have never been pulled over or troubled for it.

 

I would love to tint mine 35%, but I'm worried about a ticket. Everything I've seen says NY max tint is 70% (factory). I know people that get ticketed around here for it. I think it varies from area to area as to whether or not they ticket you.

These laws may not be current and are often enforced differently by different PD's. In all cases, refer to you local authority for enforcement policies, current laws, rules or regulations. Your current state law is the final authority, not this website! The numbers represent the percentage of light transmitted through the tinted glass, so the lower the number, the darker the film allowed. Generally the films are sold as 5%(limo), 20%(dark), 35%(medium), 50%(light).
S.U.V.s often have different regulations, which are not listed here.

 

It depends on how strict the police are in your area or how they are feeling on that day if they want to pull you over for tint or not. The way I see it, if you don't give the police an excuse to pick on your (peeling out, loud music, ect) then they probably won't bother you for your tint.

 

You're probably right. It may be worth taking the chance....looks so sweet with the tint!

 

I know i'm a bit off topic but a few months ago, there was some concern about how you could keep your newly tinted windows untouched with the windows automatically going down a bit when you open the door. A few good solutions were given then (fuses, mask sensor, etc.). Now that a lot of you guys had the windows tinted on their '05 how exactly did you overcome this problem?
