Blue tint installed

[Amgberg]

]well, didnt get much help from here at all so went out ordered the blue tint. it came out pretty good. I never was a fan of charcoal color dark tint. wanted something diffrent from everybody thats rocking 5% here in philly. my tint is 55% (VLT) Blue. our cars have 70% solar green tint factory so with the 55% blue it came out a Aqua shade. Driving around alot of people seems to digg the new tint got alot of compliments. it is metallic based so at times it gives off a S class benz reflective look. Going to order more and do the front windshield next week.

can some one tell me how to upload pics on nicco? smh.

Doing the front windshield in metallic based tint wont affect the GPS in a negative way?

Ummm ... not to be a party pooper, but please do be careful with tinting the front windshield ... in many states, it is considered illegal, so you should check the laws first.

For example, in California, you can tint the upper few inches with non-metallic tint (see here for more details) but not the whole front windshield (with any tint) - the laws are pretty darn clear (no pun intended! and CHP and local police will ticket if they see you. Indeed, even the front driver and passenger doors are not allowed to be tinted, but this is not as rigidly enforced - depending on the amount of tinting.

Thanks but, I'm not worried about it. In philly the cops are more on the guys with the 5% front windshields. But if I run into any problems I can talk my way out of it lol

In California it is legal to tint your front driver and passenger windows to 70%. The rear doors and rear windshield any tint can be used. But ya, only the top 4 inches of the front windshield can be done in non-metallic tint for California people.

Pennsylvania laws are no tint at all on the front windshield, 70% max everywhere else. metallic or mirrored appearance of any tint level is illegal.

Hmmm ... maybe it changed from when you last looked into it perhaps?

From what I had read at the first link I provided, you must provide 88% transmittance - which usually means OEM tint in the glass itself is all that is possible.

Now, this is from the CHP web site (see http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html) - in fact, it does not even mention the "top 4" allowed" anymore ... so not sure if this entirely accurate, but it is the CHP web site:

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:

The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.

The rear doors and rear windshield any tint can be used.

AFAIK, that is still correct.

FWIW, my own experience with darkening the rear windshield and rear side windows on my 1995 Q45 was that I made too dark at 10% transmittance - 90% block (was for my infant son with a bright sunlight allergy) ... became a driving hazard for me at night really. So, I didn't do any tinting on my current 2003 Infiniti M45.
