To all tinted Zs in NYC tri-state area

Just as an FYI,
NJ has "100% NO tint" law for the front driver, & passenger side windows, as well as the front windshield. NJ 39:3-75 <Don't ask me how I know about the statute, coz it will just piss me off>

Wow! Write a letter to Gov Christie...since he's a "smaller government" guy, tell him it's just one more case of state intrusion.

For how long have you had this? And how often are you out driving around? Only a matter of time man. And like I said earlier in this thread, if they catch you in Freehold they make you appear in court and they send the bailiff out to check your car to make sure the tint has been removed. So you get docked the ticket + tint removal + court fee. You're playin with fire man, good luck! There were about 3-4 other people in court that day with me who were also paying tint tickets. That's when I finally said screw it for all around tint.

The only other town I've been pulled over for tint is Marlboro, but I was able to just pay both tickets online.

Oh and this is apparently a primary offense. I was stopped in Freehold only because I had tint on my front windows. The cop pulled behind me while I sat at a light at the loop around Freehold Mall. In fact he turned around after passing me sitting at the light. In pouring rain.

Just FYI.

been like that for almost a year.. i got the tint done cheap so i didnt mind if i had to take the fronts off eventualy. Why would you pay for tint removal when you can just do it yourself?

My black interior makes my tint % look darker. I have 30% sides and rear. But it looks like 15% or 20%. 5 months of owning a Z, 0 tickets yet. well 1 exceeding the speed limit ticket thats about it lol

Have you ever taken tint off? It's a job and a half and never mind the residue. Me personally I would rather pay someone.

^ i had to take my front window tint off my last car. i did the driver side and my dad did the passenger side. it took us 15 mins. all you need is some glass cleaner and a razor blade

Yea well, just so you know. I coasted under the radar for two years and then within a year I got two tickets in Marlboro and the one in Freehold. Enjoy it while it lasts, all I'm sayin

The cops must be ball busters where you guys are. They don't really give anyone problems for tint/plates where I am.

Seems that way. Like I said the only two jurisdictions I ever had trouble in were Marlboro and Freehold. And I've been pulled over for speeding in Colts Neck, Middletown, Clark... so it's not like other cops haven't seen the tint on my front windows. Also like I said the two jurisdictions handle things differently, with Marlboro writing a ticket you can pay online and Freehold requiring (yes, they check the box) a court appearance.

I dunno maybe the court appearance thing is a state-wide thing now and went into effect between the last time I was stopped in Marlboro and when I got stopped in Freehold.

If anyone ever finds out I'd like to know.

Are reflective windows illegal. I've seen it on a couple of cars and it looks pretty unique
