Window Tint

Hey guys, Im just about to get my windows all Limo tint and my windSHIELD 35% on my 335i.. I am fully aware that this is illegal however I was wondering if anyone on this thread has had any serious problems with the police.. I am also fully aware that all states have different laws but I am just curious. Also problems with seeing in the dark etc. Thank you

I got 15% and 20% in my rear windshield, I never get harassed. If you get tint get some one that uses Suntek tint, its super efficient and repels sunlight like a champ.

I got mine 15% tint side and rear window and they never pulled me over. Here's a tip, if you see a cop is driving then you should be okay. But if you see them parking on the side of the road then better be careful...

First pic 20% second 35%. I've always had 20% and still do on most of my cars and I see fine at night. This one draws alot of attention as my other cars are sleepers so I got tired of the police ticketing me for tint as everything else was legal

I will look in too that because the 110 degree weather on a black on black car is not pretty

Can people see through the windshield when you are driving? My goal is for people to not be able to see inside the car. Will 35% be enough?

No. But thats because I have 5% on the back windshield for this reason. When its cloudy no one can see in at all, if its sunny maybe a shadow can be seen but thats about it.

My experience is if you get pulled over for a moving violation the cops will point it out and warn you. I don't think they will specifically pull you over for the tint though.

Even my 40% window tint cuts down on night visibility a good deal. Putting 35% on a windshield is idiotic and dangerous.
