Window Tints

I live in new jersey and window tints on the front are illegal...everyone keeps telling me to get them anyway but im a couple months away from the police academy and i cant do anything illegal or get tickets......
Is it gay if I get rear tinted windows only and not the front? Everyone keeps telling me its gay on just the back

it still looks decent if you have tint only in the back...too bad you couldnt do a slight tint in the front, just to even it out....[course this is coming from someone with 25% front/20% back and the law is 35% both]

wow that sucks. our laws are 35% i believe, but i said **** it and have 5% all the way around including the front window strip that extends 6" down. i would say lightly tint the fronts and then tint the backs.

sometimes its just not worth it... my buddy got pulled over by a cop for running a red, and the cop made him roll up his windows to check if they had tint... that would have been bad if they were tinted... hed of lost his license right there!

Kwest we got the same going on 5% all around, dark as ****. Also have the front done at least 6inches down and about 5inches up from bottom. Love it during the day but night it's very very hard to back up. lol

no, your roadworthiness is based on where your insured/licensed blah blah blah. otherwise americans would never be allowed to drive into canada because of our daytime running light policies.
