Tinting experiences?

[Rastoflastze]

Hi all. Don't know if this is the right section to post this in, but bear with me. I have an 08 S197 and after riding in/driving tinted SUVs for most of my life I feel SO EXPOSED. Plus a lot of kids with riced out cars see I'm also a young driver and rev on me and it gets old fast.. Seeing as this is NY mustangs and all and almost any tinting is considered illegal in NY I'm just looking for advice/recommendations/experiences with having your windows tinted. Anything is appreciated. THANKS ALL!

I have 20% tint on mine.Have not been pulled over yet but I don't drive the car much.Only have 15,000 miles on it in 7years.I just got in the habit to roll the windows down when I see the police.

Just got my rear window tinted 35% its dark enough for privacy and yet light enough for no trouble from the police. And just for a little help my friends a cop he said if you can hold your license up to the inside and still make it out its perfectly legal( side windows) rear windows can be any tint.

I have 35% on the rear window and rear doors on my focus, it's not bad, I kept it legal and didnt have the fronts done at all

It all depends on where you live if you're worried about getting a ticket. The law in NY is you can put any percentage tint on the rear window and only 70% and above on the side windows. I had 20% on the rear and 35% on the sides of my last car which I had for a year and I never got pulled over. I decided to go with 35% on the rear this time around though since 20% made it a bit difficult to back up at night. I hadn't put any tint on the sides of my Mustang but I'm planning on having 50% put on soon. I also have louvers on my quarter windows. I'm pretty certain that with 50% you are pretty much guaranteed to never get a ticket as it's not much darker than stock. I just finally made the decision after getting into a boiling hot car every day after work during our last heat wave.

I have 20% tints all around. Never had issues and never gotten pulled over... but than again the car is registered in PA. I also put about 8000 miles on the car/year so not a lot of driving there. When I first got my car, I also felt super exposed and I didnt like it. You can always roll down your windows when you see cops coming .
