You can have it as dark as you want. The LAW down there is 28% on front sides and 15% on the backs (while NY is 70% front and back for cars). But cops for the most part don’t bother you unless you are really f’in off. I drove an old hooptie Corolla with basically painted on black windows for 2 weeks and didn’t get one look from a cop. In NY? You’d get stopped a lot more frequently if you had 15% tint or ‘limo’ tint on your car. If NY wasn’t after money, they wouldn’t have set the limit so high which basically prohibits you from having ANY kind of tint. They’d have set it at, say, 40%. Which is more reasonable, don’t you think? Is a cops safety in NY more important than a cops safety in FL? Oh right. It gets hot in FL. BS. My car gets just as hot on an 80\* day because it’s black on black. If you think the tint laws are anything more than a revenue stream, you’re silly. Safety is maybe 10% of the equation. They know they can make money off of it and do so. If someone is going to blast a cops ass, he will do it whether he has tint or not. You think some shmuck is sitting in his car going, “Okay, well, he’s coming…and I have tint…I can get away with this” as opposed to “Well damn, I ain’t got tint. No, can’t shoot em.” :retardclap > [@Not bad for AWD](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/not-bad-for-awd/50807/2): > > You can’t see shit on roads with no street lighting with tinted windowz but they look kewl on certain carz so if ur into boyracing the streets of Colonie then I’d go tinted regardless of what the po-9 say, dawg. I see fine at all hours of the day/night with my tint including my front windshield which is 50%. Sides/rears are 35% I believe (possibly 30% - escapes me at the moment). And I live in the sticks. Yeah, it gets harder with no street lights but even without them I can still see pretty decent (if say, looking to the side). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/watervliet-statie-how-bad/264640)._
