Window tint law

[Bawango]

What is allowed?? I hear that as long as the driver and passenger side are visible then it should be fine. The back windows can be painted black for all the police cares. But then I see these cars that have the mirror or limo tints on all windows except of course the windshield. Can someone clarify this for me?!?

I was told the same thing... but the I was told I could have 30% on my front windows...your best bet would be to call one of te detailing shops or stop in city hall

it needs to be 78% visable, *about a windshield darkness* and you cant have front window banners past the little arrow about 6 inches from the top of the windshield, we got pulled over 2 weeks ago by 2 motorcycle cops on rothesay ave, telling us to remove the tint from the windows, *got lucky with only a warning* they were very nice and polite about it. they now have police on full time just for car mods and tint so if you didnt get pulled over yet, be expecting it. just some informations we got that night :)
