window tinting

[WLH]

Simple - arrive with the windows down as well as the roof

I don't know about the top but power windows must work and are tested...

I work with someone who has a Mitsubishi Eclipse and the 3rd time they were stopped and given a ticket and fined the judge told them the next time there would be jail time. Tint removed. It's tough living in a Nazi state...

my window tinter says the police stop you put the windows down and they cant say anything about it.

anyway in my area in portsmouth loads of people have illegal tints and dont get stopped. any other pics peoples?

Don't forget the current huge clampdown in the UK on tints when deciding how dark to go.

Our local boys in blue are having a field day here in the Midlands testing and prosecuting for failing the meter tests on front and front side windows.

The tint looks good on the red coupe. I imagine it would look good on a green coupe as well. But on a roadster or any other color (esp black) it just looks gangster! IMHO anyway. I guess if you park it in the sun a lot it could keep the heat from the sun out and since on a roadster you would most likely have the windows and top down when driving that might not be so bad as a FUNCTIONAL mod. But for looks - uh ah, no way.

You can always do 50%VLT. It's barely a tint, but you'd get better UV protection alongside the top up.

I had a tough time choosing between 35%VLT and 20%VLT. But I'm glad I ended up choosing 35% VLT. That's the legal limit here in WA state, and people would still be able to see the pimp in the pimp-mobile. 8)

. rood is down the windows should be down too

sp3ctre has fixed our roof/hood misunderstanding by naming it a rood! Now all we have to do is establish a common pronuciation.

hehe, I hadn't spotted that... with my typing I guess I should make use of the spell checker!

I've got 35%VLT on my ride. It's nice to have some tint, but I think too dark is OTT.

Looks good Rickardo..

... if the rood is down the windows should be down too

A moral requirement in some States. :roll:

I just had mine tinted last week as I'm moving to Arizona this month. Tinting is required there...unless you want to ruin your interior Here's a pic. Keep in mind it's now in direct sunlight so it appears much darker in the shade. The interior also makes a big difference. My interior is black so I didn't need to go that dark. I have 30% on the doors and rear, 50% on the windshield. At first, I was worried about not being able to see, but it's not an issue at all...even at night. I really don't notice it but it looks fantastic.
