lighting against tint from the outside makes such a big difference… If it’s cloudy that could be 35%, but on a sunny day it might appear to be 50%. I also have found that various brands tend to look different. I’d say it’s no lower than 35% as a guesstimate. So there is no answer that anybody can really give except the owner if he knows the brand and number. ---

I’ve had 30 on most my cars, never got a ticket. Had limo on the 68 but drove with the windows down, looks sweet with limo. ---

No front plate here for 9 years, never so much a second look from APD. Perhaps the veteran plate on the back helps. ---

If said cop doesn’t care, he could use a tint meter to figure it out. lol To me it looks like 35% ---

I’m in with the 35% crowd. I’ve only been pulled over solely for tint and got a ticket once in the 10 years I’ve had it. On the other hand they have given me tint tickets instead of speeding tickets a good 5 times so I say it’s a worthwhile investment to go on the illegal side of the tint limit. ---
