Cool If you have tints, please LOOK!!

Hey everyone, I'm not sure what to do with my windows....so if you could post your car's tint pics that would be great!

In NJ, the laws are no driver/passenger windows and windshield...
I don't know what I should do...

C350 4matic Obsidian Black
I donno about u guys in US, but in Canada Vancouver I just got a ticket yesterday for having the front driver and passenger side tinted at the lightest legal tint limit...the fine was $109CAD and its $84CAD if I paid within 30days. Now Im debating if I should have the front tint remove or gamble with the police. I had the tint since August 2008... I guess the cop was trying to meet his quota on New Years EVE... So what do u guys think I should do? My car is Obsidian Black with all lightest tint all round accept of course the front. And I really like it. What should I do? remove the front or not?

My tint in the front is over the limit so in summer I roll my front windows down halfway whenever I spot a cop. In winter time like now, I take my chance.. Good thing it gets darker earlier during winter

If you're worried about the laws I say you should go for 20% it doesn't look too risky dark. I know 5% looks better but is more likely to get you a ticket. I'll post some pics of my tints soon.

The windshield isn't tinted on the Merc. No tickets yet (knock on wood). In Nevada i believe you can go as dark as you want on the rear windows and up to 20% on the fronts. When I was in Colorado, I think it was 20% max in the rear and 35% in the front. I've been pulled over in the Lexus many times and they have never said anything about the front windows at 20%.

If you are worried, 20% looks very good and its hard to tell for a cop if its beyond the limit unless they pull out there light meter thingy. I would go with 20%. But if you don't care about tickets, 5% definitely looks good.

I went with 5% on the Merc because people can still see in at 20%. I personally hate being looked at. lol.
