Default Windows Tinted

Finally got our windows tinted. Went with 35% on top of factory and 20% in front. I'm no longer squinting while driving (With Sunglasses) in sunny days and it makes the car look nice.
BTW, I'm glad we chose Graphite Gray Metallic, the color really hides how filthy the car really is in these pictures.

I don't know about Florida but here in new jersey you cannot get the front row windows tinted without risking a ticket.

Depends on where you live in Jersey. I take the risk because it just looks better plus the heat rejection. I also get the front lighter than the back.

In Florida they tend to look the other way. Shoot, most cops here have 5% tint. I have been pulled over more times than I can remember and my tint on various cars has never come up.

I have the same paint color and also just had all windows tinted. Looks very slick. Hoping this keeps the heat down in the car. I hate FL in summer. It can be pretty brutal.

Cmon! Florida in the summer is the best! Its only been 95 degrees in Orlando feeling like 110 everyday this month.


I also have a similar color in an A3 with 20% tint, its the nicest color combo IMO.

Went with 3M Color Stable with rejects up to 57% of the heat coming through your windows.

Florida Laws:

Front Side windows: Must allow more than 28% of light in. (Johnny Law is cool even to 15%)
Back Side windows: Must allow more than 15% of light in. (Johnny Law is cool with 5% Limo Tint)
Rear Window: Must allow more than 15% of light in.

I believe NJ has the same law regardless of where you live in NJ.

NJ Tint law:
Windshield: No tint is allowed on the windshield. Front Side windows: No tint can be applied legally to this window. Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used. Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.

New Jersey 2015/2016 Tint Laws

Yes. I meant where the cops actually care though. I know in the Flemington area they're very likely to pull you over for it, but where I live, I have never heard of anyone having a problem.
