Seems to be alot of discussion on window tint & what's legal. Check out link for the laws of your state. This may help simplify things for ya. There are a ton of listings via other sites but this one is supposed to be the newest. (there are also medical exemptions per state too, but check your state law listings for possible changes)

Don't laugh too hard, I have posterior uveitus (sensitivity to bright light) and my windows are 5% and it's some painful as shit. After about 2 hours in bright lights, the eyes swell shut and it takes up to 5 hours to un-swell. And when they are swollen, it's like someone slipped sandpaper under your eyelids.

wo, I won't laugh at that, is your windshield also tinted? Im guessing in your sig its not your car then, or a previous pic?

**c1apton** · 04-04-2006, 04:02 PM

No, car in sig is just a pic of similar (mine isn't M'd) and no I can't have the windsheild done. But I'm required to wear dark glasses almost 90% of the time, even indoors in some cases & it sucks. The shittiest part it's in-curable. I've had it for almost 15 years (they say it's from working in dark venues) By the way my windows are treated and not tint/film to the tune of $1100 beans. I'll post some spring pics when I get a break in next couple of weeks. (sorry guys about the size - I'm on assistants lap top)

The tint looks great. It is something I consider a must for me in the near future!

**dinan540** · 04-04-2006, 07:48 PM

Looks sweet.

**dinan540** · 04-04-2006, 07:51 PM

I thought about getting my car tinted beyond the factory tint, but if you drive a sweet ride, you might want people to see you. Just a thought.

True, but I roll my windows down all the time when its nice outside.

Looks good, ill have to look into it.

**doughboyea** · 04-04-2006, 10:25 PM

c1apton, no pun intended but, talk about having a mafia car eh?

I was looking at the laws regulating window tinting for NJ. Man, not only is the windshield not allowed to be tinted (understandable) but so are the driver and passanger front sides as well... That blows. It would look horrible with just the back window and back passanger windows tinted.

**mullethunter3** · 04-05-2006, 12:51 AM

side note, i enjoyed how you blurred your plate in the tint pic, but not in your sig.

now i'll never know what your plate reads.

btw, this list is more up to date than clapton's:
