When confronted with tint that is too dark an officer will ask you to roll all 4 windows down. Also, the flashlights they carry can easily penetrate and light up the interior with the technology that's out there today. To me having too dark of a tint is a hinderance for me as the driver. I'll be getting mine done legally with darker in the back to where I'm comfortable. I do wish I could get at least 50% in the front for summers. Coming from Florida tint can be life or death with black interior.

Can anyone recommend a shop for tints and/or having the inspection done? I'm thinking of getting 50%, this is my first car without any and I hate how the clear windows look on a black car. How much does it cost too, around? I just want enough (50) to give it a bit of something without being noticeable

everyone can say that statement of "my [insert relative/friend here] is a cop" so im immediately suppose to agree with you or else? Just take a look at all the personal vehicles parked at a station.... most if not all are tinted.. if cops have such an issue with other cars being tinted, they shouldnt have their own personal vehicles tinted.

So do people know how the inspection process works? Is it an automatic gauge they need to use like the emissions or is it just a field entry? Just got a new car and I really miss my tints on the old one. Trying to figure out if it is worth it.

visual inspection to determine if they are tinted. there is nothing to submit. but they can measure and include that in the reason for failure.

Mines is due this month and if anyone can hint at a place that is lenient with tints that'll be awesome. Don't want to go through the hassle of removing and replacing the tints especially when I'll be moving to a more tint friendly state in a few months

I did it in BMW of Brooklyn. Before they did the inspection they made sure that I don't have tint. He said the gov has been strict and questioned why haven't they failed anyone on tint. So they had to take it more seriously.

goodluck with that. you need to hookup to odb2 for NYS and pass emissions. no shop can fake that as it plugs into a computer.
