So I decided to go with 35% rear sides/back and with 50% front and passenger windows. I had it done this morning. I think it looks good. The 50% on the front sides looks darker then I thought it would be. He also took the tint meter to my front passenger window before tinting and it read 76% and that is stock.

is it really that bad in nj with the tints? I live on long island and me and my dad have always had tints on all the sports cars weve owned and never get hassled for them. Tints are 20% btw that we usually go with all around

Local town cops are the worst and that's where most of my tickets came from but I also got tickets on the highway. In NY or NYC I never have an issue. I also always did 20% all around or even darker. Now I am too paranoid and went much lighter.

I did 35% all around, but now I'm thinking about going darker cause I really don't like people staring at me. It makes me feel uncomfortable. If I wanted them to see me, I would just roll my window down lol.

I have gotten more tint tickets then speeding tickets in my life. Havent had a speeding ticket in many years. But I got 4 tint tickets in the past 2 years. Currently i dont have a front plate as I dont have plates yet and debating the whole front plate thing. I had my Z tinted this morning and got 35% side rears/back and 50% front driver/passenger windows.

I'm currently running no front plate also in NY. I've got 35% all round. Anything more than 35% seems somewhat pointless because 35% isn't even dark at all. People getting 50% and more is not noticeable and no real effect.

NJ doesnt allow any tint on the side front/passenger windows so I wanted to go the lightest on those windows so the cops hopefully wont hassle me and went little darker in the back.

I agree but i have 35% in the back so the 50% fronts look darker and I just cant handle the hassle and ticket fines from the cops if I went darker.

I have 20% all around my z34 except the windshield. Cops really dont bother you unless its extremely dark and they can't see you. It's a safety reason.
