NEW YORK ~

New York

See below for full text

Visor.................6"

Front doors............72%

Rear doors..........72%

Back window.........any

percentages are the amount of light that still gets through.

so basically dont let your windows get too dusty or you can get a ticket for it. heh

Wow. New York is really strict on... just about everything. Mass seems like you could do just about anything with them and they wouldn't care!

ScreaminFast · « **Reply #3 on:** January 03, 2004, 03:58:01 PM »

yea tint laws suck. I'm running 50% tint on the sides, and 20% on the rear....

Drifter04STI · « **Reply #4 on:** January 06, 2004, 01:16:15 AM »

in my EVO i had 5% in the front, rear, and back with a 7 1/2 in banner in the front and a 6 1/2 in in the rear. But for the STI, i might not even put tint on it... just some window banners. (**Cough**UNYSOC**Cough)

yea I'm thinking of running 50% tint on mine....that seems about right

Hunter · « **Reply #6 on:** October 16, 2004, 01:15:28 PM »

wait so are the numbers the limit?? is 30% illegal ?

2nd2none · « **Reply #7 on:** October 16, 2004, 01:48:58 PM »

no. 72% is the amount of light that passes through the tint. so you need 72% or a higher percentage to be legal.

skyphix · « **Reply #8 on:** October 16, 2004, 11:12:28 PM »

I had 40 on the front and 35 on the back of my Honda and never got harrassed. I'll probably go with 40 all around on the STi... same for the girlfriends car.

yeah new york def sucks for all motor vehicle laws. every single time i get pulled over the cop asks "how much tint do you have on your windows?". and i reply i have no tint on the front windows. i dont particularly like not having the front drver and passenger windows tinited but i was tried of paying for tint tickets. besides having three windows tinted is JDM yo!!!!!!!

new york sucks period. I hate how high taxes and cost of living is and not to mention the vehicle laws.

I want to move to like wisconsin or something. but I'll never move. so I have to suck it up I guess

Photofixer · « **Reply #11 on:** January 29, 2006, 10:36:27 AM »

Do you guys think it would look stupid with different density tint on the front opposed to the back windows.. I have a suburban. Im still undeciede about the front windows and what to do.. SO thirty percent tint. would Be 70% ? OR is it 30% is the amout of light IN?

STiPete · « **Reply #12 on:** January 29, 2006, 12:20:08 PM »

Where do you guys go for tint?

I had a price quoted to me by an unnamed local shop for my STi and I wasn't pleased at all with the ammount...

homurcules · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2006, 03:24:51 PM »

the percentage always means the same thing...the amount of light that will go through the window. so if you ask for 70% they will give you 70%, not mistakingly 30%. 30% would mean that only 30% light can go through the window. 70% tint is much lighter than 30% tint.

i have 5% on my windows.... and ive only been bothered once about it. but it is almost impossible to see out of at night.

the guy that did my tint, i would recomend to anyone, anytime. he does excelant work. next thing i get tinted, is absolutly gonna be done by him. his name is Lee, send him an email and ask him what his prices are, leeberbs@comcast.net

JayS02RS · « **Reply #14 on:** January 29, 2006, 06:01:14 PM »

homurcules · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2006, 01:27:20 PM »

actually, he is in NJ. but i think he will travcel up here to do a few cars int he same day.

me, i have no probs driving down to jersey to have him do my windows.

JayS02RS · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2006, 10:58:35 PM »

Well, maybe we can get a bunch of people together, have a meet and do some windows at some point.........

homurcules · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2006, 10:42:55 AM »

at some time, i plan on putting the doors from my old car on this one.... and that will mean i need those windows redone. so, im in.

JayS02RS · « **Reply #19 on:** April 16, 2006, 10:31:36 PM »

thats where I was thinking. I'm gonna try to get done in may

hip_n_jam · « **Reply #20 on:** August 03, 2006, 11:26:28 AM »

Does tinting make your car much hotter in the summer (not that it could get much hotter these days) or does it help keep the heat out? And typically how expensive does it run? I'm assuming the more window surface area you have (I have a wagon) the more it would be.

Thanks!

beat22 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 03, 2006, 07:19:11 PM »

it keeps the interior cooler...usually..i paid 200 like 3 years ago to get my L coupe limo tinted on 5 windows.....at infamous...

homurcules · « **Reply #22 on:** August 03, 2006, 11:44:53 PM »

yes, some dark tint will keep the heat out.... if you use a window sheild kinda thing. $200 sounds about right

Tdimpreza · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2006, 10:01:37 AM »

I will again vouche for Lee's work, his work is by far better than alot of places around here, plus he knows this so IF (and thats a big IF with lee ) he does mess up hes known to take care of it. If there is enough interest Im sure we can get him up here for a day.

I know i have two cars that need tint.

skyphix · « **Reply #24 on:** August 04, 2006, 10:10:30 AM »

I'd like to tint the back windows on the Wagon
