SpaceGhost Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Is that legal in FL? And doesn't it reduce visability at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Incorrect, factory tint on front windows (the only windows Ohio has a law on besides the windshield) is 1-3%. At 40 seconds you'll see him put a meter on a factory window. It reads 75% And factory windows again that measure 77% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93fox Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Is that legal in FL? And doesn't it reduce visability at night? No, it's not. I believe legal on front windows is 23%...? And of course, not legal on windshield either. As far as visibility goes, I hardly notice a difference at night. It not only cuts down on sun glare, but also cuts down on the glare from oncoming cars at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The good film (Pinnacle) tint isn't 50% it's 54% but they call it 50. So with 1-3% factory tint you Are at most 51% of light transmittance. You have 1% to give. Specs (first column is light transmittance): http://formulaone.com/pdf/FormulaOneSpecSheet.pdf Incorrect, factory tint on front windows (the only windows Ohio has a law on besides the windshield) is 1-3%. And I hardly think my front windows look dirty: http://www.columbusdiscgolf.com/IMAGES/DSC_3299.JPG That is Pinnacle series 50 front, and 35 rear.

I had 50% front windshield on my old car and it was difficult at night with low-lit/visibility situations...and I had xenon lights. It was nice during the day...at night it was difficult sometimes.

SpaceGhost Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I had 50% front windshield on my old car and it was difficult at night with low-lit/visibility situations...and I had xenon lights. It was nice during the day...at night it was difficult sometimes. At 19 YO I had 50% on a windshield of an 88 Fiero GT and 20 on sides, at night sometimes I had to roll the window down to see pedestrians on the street trying to cross. Never did that again mainly because Westerville threw my ass in court after the 3rd ticket and sent a bailiff out to inspect my car that the TINT WAS REMOVED. At 40 seconds you'll see him put a meter on a factory window. It reads 75% And factory windows again that measure 77% I stand corrected, I was always told and read that factory glass was a low percentage. Way lower than 28%.

harmonda Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 That windshield tint is definitely going to get you attention. In my experience if you run with no tint on the windshield (no extra) and at least have the front windows close to legal they leave you alone. Granted there are other factors. FYI...I got ticketed for tint in New Albany and they added a fine for tinted license plate covers. I got a check in the mail from them a few months later with a note that they did an audit and discovered that they had no ordinace against tinted plate covers. Got my 45 bucks back.

I keep the car exterior clean of other possible violations but I run Pinnacle 50% on the windshield and 20% on all the other glass. Been 2 years. Driven past Gahanna and New Albany's finest a million times. Never been stopped. It sucks but it's definitely about the find of car you have. If and when, I put that tint on the GT500, I won't get three blocks I'll bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the exact same on my old truck, 35% on the windshield. The side window tint on that truck tested at 8% on the troopers meter. He didn't say a word about the windshield, though. :gabe: http://i832.photobucket.com/albums/zz243/Dakota740408/1998%20Dakota%20Sport/100_2041.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverMaker Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 ok dumb scenario time but I have to ask... say you get pulled over and you put all your windows down (or at least the front 2), what would the cop do exactly? make you roll them up? I am guessing they couldn't FORCE you to raise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing they couldn't FORCE you to raise them. I always put the front two down when I get pulled over, but yes, as said they ask you to roll it up so they can put the meter on it. Funny thing is I have been pulled over twice(Now three times with the tint ticket) in the Cummins with that tint, one for a speeding ticket, the other for an illegal turn. They didn't say a word about the tint, but I did have both windows down even though it was kinda chilly out side, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lag wagon Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yes, they tell you to raise them, on they put you in the back of the cruiser and do it for you. True story ^ It makes them angry when you have an unmarked P/W relay cutoff switch too. "No, none of my windows work" Best on sedans with rear windows that go down all the way. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
