KJS2023 - June 2, 2008 04:14 AM (GMT)
I live in Guilford and was wondering who lived around the area.
Black Maxima - June 2, 2008 04:03 PM (GMT)
I live in Bristol and frequent Waterbury.

i have 20% on my car. visibility is not a problem, and the cops don't usually bother me. out of the nearly two years of having the tints, i only have 1 tint ticket and that was from the pike.

I had 15% and had to go thru inspections
Suicidalspd99 - June 5, 2008 03:26 PM (GMT)
Just go legal. But thats my opinion. It is dark enough and you won't have to worry as much about cops. If you get tints you are supposed to go to the dmv and have them put this yellow stick on saying it is the correct percentage, but I never did that.
KJS2023 - June 5, 2008 03:35 PM (GMT)
so without that sticker they could make me go to the DMV?
Black Maxima - June 5, 2008 04:02 PM (GMT)
My window tint was 5%. All I could see at night in my rear view mirror was car headlights.
KJS2023 - June 5, 2008 06:19 PM (GMT)
thats part of the reason why I got a rear backup cam I will be installing.
kevt2207 - June 5, 2008 09:00 PM (GMT)
i got like 15-20% on mine, they are basically the same, but visibility is no problem and havent got pulled over for them yet and its been a year. knock on wood
KJS2023 - June 6, 2008 01:03 AM (GMT)
kect2207 do you have a side pic of your car showing off your tints?
SUNTEN1 - June 6, 2008 01:18 AM (GMT)
Yeah I didn't get pulled over for like 3 years with my 15%

What's the legal % tint in CT for rear window and back doors windows ?
I think it's illegal to tint front door windows
Suicidalspd99 - July 17, 2008 05:23 PM (GMT)
Side windows is 35%. Rear window there is no limit. It is illegal to tint the windshield but not the side windows.
WhiteA32 - July 18, 2008 08:44 PM (GMT)
Ehhh not sure about the side windows.
I went to the DMV and the guy said I couldn't have any tint on my side windows.
KJS2023 - July 19, 2008 01:41 AM (GMT)
You can tint the sides 35% or lighter, rear anything as long as you have side mirrors, front window can only be tinted within the tint line on the top which is imprinted on your front window normally on the drivers side about 4in down or so. Yes my tints are 20% and illegal but I like them anyways. The guy at the DMV you talked to prob was miss informed or just an asshole who doesn't like tints. The way I figure if a cop pulls me over a will lower my windows so he can easyly see inside. The reason tinting is such an issue is because of cops getting killed when the guy in the back has a gun and the cop doesn't know. Yes they could make me go to the DMV but ill deal with it if it happens. If you stick to the law then their is never any probs. Just make sure you got the sticker on ur windows that says the actual tint if you really wana be legal. They cant say shit if you follow that.
WhiteA32 - July 19, 2008 12:58 PM (GMT)
I don't know about that.
When the cop pulled me over, I had to roll down my windows and he told me to roll them up a bit, so he could see the tint.
I had both windows rolled down so you couldn't see them.

I have 2 layers of tints. It measures out to be 14% front two, 8% rear two, 4% rear windshield, 50% front windshield.
I had originally got 35% on the sides, and 20% on the back windshield, but then that wasnt dark enough after a while. *I tried to go the legal route but it just didnt work* lmao
So then I got 35% over the front 2, 20% over the rear three. As a 2nd layer. But the 2nd layer is just dark smoke.
I did have a issue with cops once or twice. More memorably once... It was during the day in Fairfield getting off exit 24 I think it was...
I ended up swapping out the front two windows with stock non tinted glass windows. Taking a pic, and sending that to the DMV. Then putting my original tinted windows back in.
lol
But Bill is right about his tint info, it IS, 35% on all side windows, and whatever darkness on rear. Any tint on the FRONT windshield below 6" is of course illegal.
Tinted windshield in it's entirety is illegal yes.
Yes you can see thru it fine, even in the rain. Now I know some people who have 20% on their windshield, and I have driven there cars at night in NY. Now THAT was tough. Especially with dark streets, even with HIDS, doesnt matter. That shit is just DARK.
I have 20% metallic on my 6th gen all around. But I have a light interior. With the 4th gen, interior lighting and opening sunroof helps when cops are around and rolling down windows. Not all, just front.

hey while everyone is on the tint subject, anyone know a good place close to trumbull that does a great tint job? for a cheap price ofcourse...
Suicidalspd99 - August 3, 2008 04:46 PM (GMT)

elgordit0941 - August 3, 2008 06:15 PM (GMT)
