Tinted Car Pics Needed

So I'm trying to get an idea of what tint to get for my car. I live in NY and the law sucks so I'm using it more as a guideline lol. The tint law is NY front 70%| side 70% back ANY% 6" NET. So if you have pics of your car please post and what tint you have.

Also---strip on windsheild: yes or no???

Thanks

man i dont think its worth it unless you go all the same percentage all the way around, but thats just my opinion. i know how ny is with their tint laws though. but if you do tint id say definitely go for the strip on the front

Have you had yours measured by a cop?

If so I believe me and you are tied for darkest tint on the site

No i havn't had it measured been pulled over plenty though haha. It's not too bad driving at night with 28 on the shield, just looks darker because the sides and back windows..i love it though you can't see in at all from any angle. Tell me your opinions on this....so a cop pulls you over for the windshield being tinted his excuse is its a saftey violation, which of course i understand. However, if you put a pair of sunglasses on its harder to see out of those than it is my windshield so technically that'd be a saftey violation too if you got in a wreck. I doubt it would without a good lawyer but you think that would fly in court? Just a thought, i don't plan on trying to fight it unless everyone thinks i could actually win it haha.

Its not too bad as long as there is a few street lights I gotta roll down my windows sometimes when pulling out of parking spaces and making left turns where there is a median but other then that its not a problem at all.

Here's my car- 27% all the way around and no windshield tint.



You know looking at my car, it sure does look alot darker than 27% but it's not.

Not to thread jack but did you have some front end work done? The coloration seems a tiny bit off. Then again that could just be me.
