is it still 35 sides and 5% back? some dik headed london cop said ANY window film is illegal. then he backed off after i showed him my reciept from tint king that said i had 35%...

 

I have two layers of limo all the way around.... I'm pretty sure mine's not legal in any province or state.

 

Any tint other than the factory tint is in fact illegal in Ontario. Unless you have 5% all-round or the cop feels like he's need an excuse for giving you a ticket, most police will turn a blind eye too it. I've heard some shops will not do anything less than a certain percentage and the only thing I can think of is they just don't want the liability. *shrug*

Personally, I've got 20% on the rear and 30% on the sides and I'm quite happy with it...plenty dark enough for me.

 

I had 15% all around on my Oldsmobile, and I only had a problem once, but that was in vineland, so I didn't take the cops warning seriously

I will be going 15% on the GTA this summer, I'll have to see though. IROCKERS windows are pretty dark, so I may go with the next least tint after 15% on the sides.

As for the back, I believe the law is you can do whatever to the back, you can even paint it black if you want LOL... thats what I was told. The only reason they don't like the sides dark, is because they need to see the driver and passenger. Dark windows is a good weapon for people with guns, I know we don;t have guns, but someone else may have *shrug*

I wouldn't worry about it though, cops aren't that picky about it, just hope the cop isn't in a bad mood

 

Actually I have heard that about the back window too being as dark as you want. The real legal infringement is the side windows as Nathan stated.

 

I am following you around the board tonight IROCKER LOL

 

Ok my friend is a cop and he told me that.. there are no laws against tint.. QUOTE: " They have to be able to see the driver of the vehicle" so no matter what the tint is if you get a ***** of a cop he can bust you... so you take the risk to have the tint.. I have never had a problem but maybe someday..

 

i have 5% on the back and none on the sides (my windows are always down anyway)

 

This is what I have heard as well.... there is no law, but the have to be able to see you. When I got pulled over in the Olds, he asked me to put my window up, so he can see if he can see inside.

 

I have 5% tint on my side windows and 20% tint on the back window..

A TINT JOB GONE VERY WRONG!

 

I have 5% all around.. Also an 8 inch 5% tinted visor in the front...

 

You can tell how dark mine is from this pic... the side and back windows are pretty much opaque.

 

this is what 5% looks like on the sides.

 

Here's an old pic.... mine is limo. I think it is 5%. I wouldn't recommend anyone going this dark. It actually is a problem for visibility at night and in bad weather.

 

...but it's important to note one thing - it DOES look badass.:hail:

 

Coming from personal experience on my old 92 Sunbird GT.... night driving sucks if you have to back up or use your side mirrors!! Plus it's just a ticket waiting happen... cop sees you past by and is having a bad day... notices the real dark side windows and bam, ticket! screw that... I am getting mine tinted but I think I will go with 35% on the sides and 15% in the back.

Just MHO :lala:

 

I got a ticket this summer... but it was the best ticket he could have given me. I was lookin at at least $800 worth of badness.
