Default slammed_gs says I got very dark tint, pics inside

here are pictures of my gs tintted. 5% all the way around and 35% front windshield . And yes you can get pulled over for this out here in New Jersey, but so what!, as you can see i dont even drive around with a front plate so that the front stays clean.





Actually you can still see through the front windshield with 35% tint.... When you get pulled over for tint the cop dousnt even notice the front windshield is tintted because the rest of the car is so much darker.To him/her (the cop) the 5% on the sides and back is whats making the front look a little bit darker. If i get a ticket , ill pay it and just move on. "Now, I bet if my car was white I would have problems with the coppers"

I can see perfectly fine out of mine. I RARELY have to roll down the windows to see at night. I have to do it once in a while when it's REALLY dark out, but that's usually when I'm backing out of my driveway on my way to PT at 0400. Other than that, I dont have any problems with night vision.

Well i will say, its nice and IMO thats very unsafe and not very responsible of you. Liablity wise, w/e happens in an accident it could be 'your fault'. It is very nice thou no doubt about that.

Looks great, but not sure if it's worth the cop being even more ready to pull his gun on you for a simple tint or plate ticket. Especially in NJ.

LOL! Yeah... PT is fun! I'm sure you've seen just as many sunrises as I have if not more!

I tinted mine because I wanted to keep the sun out... really, for no other reason than that. I wasn't saying "F the cops," I just wanted to keep the damn Florida heat out of my car. Other than it looking REALLY clean, I didn't have any other reasons. I got a scare driving through GA at night once when i was pulled over 7 miles from the FL border(think Super Troopers stopping the pot heads on the way to Canada), but other than that... nothing. ***KNOCK ON WOOD***

I DO have a slight sensitivity to bright light, but nothing that would warrant a prescription for overly dark tint.

Lookin good. Love the tint. I'm sure Jersey cops have more important things to do than pull you over for your tint.
