Car Tint.
 
So i just got my car tinted 35% in the front, 20% in the backs and 20% visor strip on the windshield. I live in Vancouver and was wondering what are you chances of getting pulled over? How many of you got stories of getting pulled over for having tinted front windows? I personally think cops would pull me over cuz i got a better whip then em! :D thats my 2 cents!

i have the exact set up 35% front and 20% rear, and everytime i drive pass a cop he makes a u turn and starts following me, pulls me over and comments on my tint, but i havnt gotten a ticket though. just be nice to them thats the key lol

It depends on what kind of car you have.

If it is more of a luxury type of car, slight tints on the front windows are not TOO obvious, but you might still get pulled over.

i had really light tint on my car and got pulled over 3 times in about a month. Finally on the 3rd time they gave me a VI.
What a hassle thats been.....

so if they catch you they catch you if they dont they dont...pretty much it.

i have a light tint and i got ticketed once in the most random time..
it was 12 am in granville island and then police blocked the bridge to check cars and i got a ticket lol but i only had one ticket in 2 years

In my 240 i got ticketd twice

in my G35 i've never been pulled over for them.

5% tint in the back.
20% tint on the fronts.

And my tails are completely blacked out.



Haven't got pulled over, or even followed yet, and I pull up next to or pass a cop almost everyday.

j0nnyblaze 03-18-2010 08:37 PM

yeah i guess if you in a more luxury car you wont get hassled as much.

drove into the left turn lane and passed a motorcycle cop with the top down and windows down on a sunny day...rides beside me and tells me to roll up my windows. sigh worst luck ever....

not worth the hassle imo

i've been taken out of the car and had a rcmp supervisor search my car (for safety reasons) and they ignored it.

i have ~15% back and 70% front (light tint).. i think thats how the numbers work..

I think that tint on the front windows is subjective and the likeliness of a cop giving you a ticket can depend on:

a vehicles "Heat Score",
if it's the beginning vs. end of the month,
a persons driving behavior.


I'm sure that a newer stock looking G35 is going to have a low chance of getting a tinting ticket, so long as the driver doesn't do douchebag maneuvers around a cop.

On the other hand, a JDM with a fart-can exhaust and bodykit (high heat score) is likely.
