% tints in North NJ...

North Jersey peeps, tell me what % is your tints? I'm thinking bout 45% but the place I'm getting them from only has 35%. How much hassle have cops given you for "riding dirty"?

i don't think 35% is too bad. i had 20% on my rsx-s back in the day and i got stopped once the whole time i had the car (about 3 years).

i decided i'm just not going to tint any of my cars anymore. not worth the hassle (like driving w/o a front plate in jersey).

I think I'm the only E92 M3 with a front plate and...a sunroof! I feel like it's a nice touch to do esp. since I have the AW/FR combo.

I have a E92 M3 with a front plate and a sunroof.
I also have 20% tint all around. Got my car last September.
Only got tint ticket once at Edgewater on the Thursday night where all the cops were.
My last car, which I had for 3 years had 20% tint all around also.
I got a ticket maybe 3 times?
I dont think youll have a problem with 35%.
Anyway tint ticket is not that expensive. Around $50

Has it been smooth sailing with the cops so far? My friend had 25% on his IS and the local cops were on him like white on rice. It came to a point where he asked me to drive him to work cuz the cop was waiting for him to leave his driveway from across the street. I'm thinking, with 35% or 45% all around cept the windshield, I should be fine. Plus if I open the roof sunshade, it would still be bright inside. I just want to give the car some color dammit! Stupid NJ laws that make no sense to an extent.

So is it a state law not to have tints on side and back windows? I have 20% tints on, and didn't know about any law against it. Does anyone know what the specific NJ law is about tints? Or is it a town to town sort of play?

im running 50% all around and I like how it looks. I have no issues driving at night, and I have rolled by cops and checkpoints and havent had any hassle. Got my tints done at boom boom II in palisades park for $175 all around.
