There is optical quality tint. The laws are in place due to Officers not being able to look at the driver and visual quality's as well. Cheap tint is a miserable thing, I agree. Some people like the way it looks? Some people think green mustangs are ugly. I , personally, think they make a damn good looking car. I also have 20 percent all around my car and 35% down the entire windshield. I did use Lumar and its about like looking through a high quality pair of sunglasses. Think Oakley. I'm not a big fan of the look, but I do have a ton of retina damage (welding, sandblasting, all the cool stuff) and its about the only way I can drive my car without shades. Plus I dont drive at night. Opinions are like...well, you know...
theres a kid from town who tinted his tailights dont look bad but id just rather buy tail light covers maybe a little more expensive but looks better i think my opinion.
i live in new york and the front window law is 75% ive been told. i was pulled over the first month i had my car and got a 150 dollar ticket. my tints are 15% though. If you only dip 10% below the law theyre not gunna have good enough eyes to spot the difference and wont bother pulling you over probably.. . . even if they did i dont think 10 or 15% will make them give you a ticket
ANything more than 35% is asking for trouble though. Why draw attention to yourself anymore than you have to? know what I mean? Even though cops arent supposed to pull you over for the tint, they will find a way to do so ...
