Does anyone have any pics of G37 Coupes where the front windows are not tinted? I'm in vancouver, bc and the law here states we cannot tint the front windows.

I am considering the back 3 windows, but maybe skipping the 2 x small side windows in case the contrast makes it ugly.

 

just tint it. its illegal in california and me and thousands of other people do it

 

ill take a few pics after i take the car out for a spin. here in nj we cant have front tints either :/

 

why? is there any good reason for not allowing you to tint ur front window?

 

well here in cali its a safety thing. their is alot of crime and the police want to be able to see who is driving and in the car. plus they say its a distraction when driving at night.

 

reason for it is safety here in nj too. cops want to see what/who they are dealing with as they approach the vehicle. i dont like the law as the driver, but i can definitely see why cops enforce it. most cops here dont bother you too much if you arent driving with less than 35% but once in a while you'll get a ticket for having 35% in the front.
i only want the 35% to keep my seats from getting sooo hot! i dont really care if the driver next to me sees my face or not, i think its handsome

 

Without any tintin front but 0 % on small windows and back window

With int all the way around

 

Never tinted before so maybe some silly questions.

1. I know tinting reduces light in, but can the driver still see out the window (looking out through the tinted window from the inside) with the same visibility prior to tinting? I ask this because I use my rear view mirror quite often and think it is useful as it reduces the blind spot.

2. How likely do you consider it be that I get pulled over for 5% tint all around (including the 2 front ones)?

3. If caught, would the citation increase my insurance premium, how much does it generally run up (does degree of tint scale to $ fined?) in California

 

1. Yes visibility is reduced but not by much. Unless you have very dark tints and rolling down a road with no street lamps, in the rain (so you can't roll windows down).. then i can see the issue. Also, the G37 has a back-up camera so looking out the back when reversing you get a little bit of help.

2. I put 5% on my g37 all around and it was fine for driving, even at night. Tints work both ways, if theres a bunch of interior lights turned on inside your cabin then you can easily see inside of a tinted window.

3. Tints are a non-moving violation i believe. either they cite you and make you pay (70-140 dollars?) or a fix-it ticket. I ran 5% on two cars for about three years and i never got cited. This of course is different for me because i'm in Florida.

 

Thanks for the info, would love to hear from California drivers, since that is where I am from and would be getting in trouble at (specifically Santa Barbara)

 

looking out of tints from inside the car isnt bad, but it is different. you get used to it in a matter of hours, but dont expect it to be the same. all i can say is its much easier looking out of tints from inside the car than looking into tints from outside the car

 

At the risk of repeating an old discussion once again, tinting the windshield is a brainless idea. And it has little to do with cops looking in or cutting down glare from oncoming traffic. It’s illegal in every State because it significantly cuts down on driver visibility at night that could cause serious accidents. And those who say they can still see fine at night with tinted windshields are just kidding themselves.

 

Eh, my tints are 5% all around. I always roll next to or in front of a cop and wont get stopped just because my tint. If they stop for speeding or another reason, then yes they might or might not write you down for tints too. all depends on the cop, some are ****s and some are cool.

 

You’re still ignoring the obvious:

The issue is not the cops or getting tickets.
It’s operating an unsafe vehicle in which you may kill yourself and your passengers some night.
