the way i look at it... the less attention you draw to yourself... the more you can lay low against the cops... get the tints, but just dont' drive around like a jerk. I live in central jersey... have 35% tints all around with no front plate... and I haven't gotten pulled over for it (yet). I'm 100% positive it will happen one day... and I am prepared to suffer the consequences, but I enjoy seeing my car the way it is now. =)

and it seems like you've already made an appt, so you're planning on getting it done regardless of what everybody says anyway am i right? haha post some pics when you it done.

 

Hahah well I wouldn't call it an "appointment" but if I do decide to get them done he is going up regardless so I'm gonna just tag along with him.

 

you gonna get pulled over anyway so get 20% or 5% ... the darker.. the better it will look.

 

Have a look at the threads I've posted you'll see pics of my car with 35% sides 20% rears. No cop trouble yet and I've had that setup for 6 years on black cars with black interior

 

I miss my 5% all around, but now I have test pipes, I can't really afford to be pulled over anymore haha. 35 all around for me.

 

i live in middlesex county and used to live in monmouth. i will tell you this, the less crime there is in an area the more cops will pull you over for the smallest thing. an example would be Red Bank. I used to get pulled over there for anything just because they get bored. If a cop is bored and see's tints in the rear and u have windows down, they will pull u over to check. hell, my sister got pulled over today for her plate blocking NEW JERSEY with a dealer frame in Monmouth County. And since you live in Colts Neck, expect to get pulled over for dark tint.

 

Do you legally have to roll up your windows? I don't think having back tints should be "probable cause" since it is legal to have any % back tints in NJ. That just seems absurd to me.

 

I have 35% all around (Including tails) and 50% on the windsheild w/ black interior. In the day it looks smoked but at night.. basically murdered. I've gotten 2 tickets in the past 6 months, but nothing like when I had my old Audi w/ 20% all around.

Go for it.

 

they cant pull you over just because your windows are down adn your back wndows are tined. they can pull you over for something else and ask you to roll your windows up

 

^^ +1
I am in northern, NJ nad have 35% all around but I am a law abiding citizen and display a front plate...

 

In my civic, I was pulled over multiple times even without having front tint on it. I have been pulled over in the following towns without even having front tint(my car had a WS2 exhaust, so it was quiet)
Belmar
Neptune
Asbury Park
Red Bank
Colts Neck
Matawan
Marlboro(3 times)
Manalapin
East Hanover(4 times within the last 2 yrs)

Mind you I did not get a ticket in any of these towns, they simply pulled me over for "believing" I had front tint. Every time I am asked to roll up my windows.

 

there are so many cars out there with tinted windows....i mean if you dont drive around like a dousche and dont attract attention, you'll be fine. Get 15 or 20...15 is perfect. Illegal yes, but there are much worse things out there to catch attention by the piggies.

 

North Jersey is the worst for tints, a good tint is Pro-tinting Newark NJ 374 market street never had any problems with them.

 

just got my tints redone today too i got 15 in rear and small window, and 20 on the two front side i'll snap some pictures tomorrow and post it!

 

I get hassled sometimes in Freehold, but that's about it. I got hassled once in Aberdeen, but he looked inexperienced. I have 20's on the 4 fronts, and 5% on the back windshield. I'm going to get 50% on the front windshield because it looks really good. I actually might also take off my 20's and go 5% in the front.

My opinion, 20's are great, but 5% is probably the best. If I were to re-do it again, I would do 35% front windshield and 5% on the rest
