NY police don't really care all that much about tinted windows unless they really need a reason to pull you over. 20% is pretty dark considering the cabin is pretty dark to begin with. I DD my Z and I don't think it really needs tinted windows to be honest with you. Seeing out of it is hard enough with all the blind spots.

Also, how come you still have the old style plates and not the gold? Where in NY are you?

They are my old custom plates that I transferred to this car, I hate the new plates...the colors are hideous. Unfortunately I am going to be forced to get them as soon as I order new custom plates. I'm in Westchester but I drive to Long Island, NYC, and Rockland all the time. I stumbled across the Northeast section, once my car is broken in I'll have to stop by for a meet.

Take it to a good shop and they should know the limits. Performance is the way to go. Lowering and spacers are agood place to start.

Thats crazy, I bought my current DD in Syracuse and drove it home and the first thing I did was put 5% limo all the way around. Granted, im in Florida but I go to NY every year *Rochester* and have never been messed with. I feel sorry for you guys, my mom is always panic'in when shes driving while shes on the phone for fear she will get pulled over. DOwn here, the cops are on the cell phones nonstop while driving but we have no rule against it.

I think 20% is good enough if you dont wana get messed with, I just like it dark because I dont like snooping ppl while im driving or when the cars just sitting there during the day/night.

THe tint laws are due to cops being shot when approaching vehicles with dark tint. I'm amazed the Florida doesn't have the same problem with cities like Miami that downtown has more guns than the wild west did. I worked as a disaster relief worker for Katrina and had an armed escort anytime I was outside in downtown Miami. I don't follow Miami news but just in Buffalo there is atleast 1-2 drive by's per week. Do I think that the Z owner would be a shooter NOPE but they could get theirs stolen and used in one. Tint laws make sense for law enforcement.

Well I am the farthest you could be from Miami and still exist in the state of Florida. haha Im about 700 something miles away from there. Ive been down there many times in the past with my gf when she was doing her med school clinicals there but was never harassed. I guess it depends if your in a rough area or not and look like trouble. Next summer were looking to move down to central/South fl but I dont plan to be in ghetto areas

Stay safe and just sat no to ghetto. LOL

Not sure if you have done the tint yet, but what you can do to disable the auto windows is just disconnect the battery, foot on the brake about 30 seconds and all the power is drained, this also reset the ecu. Hook the battery back up, set the clock/radio presets and you're back to normal except now the auto up/down windows won't work. Now once your tint is good and dry, here's how to reset the windows.

1. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.

2. Close the door.

3. Open the window completely by operating
the power window switch.

4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to
close the window, and then hold the switch
more than 3 seconds after the window is
closed completely.

5. Release the power window switch. Operate
the window by the automatic function to
confirm the initialization is complete.

6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other
window.
