No problems so far. I've had tint on all my cars back to the early 1990's.

Two tickets; two times for my 35%. One for every window in the fronts. But never take them off, some cops are assholes about it, some are not. Is like giving a ticket for parking 30 feet from a stop sign or jay walking, is a law but who really enforces it. I've gotten pulled over many times, and never fucked me. But both times I've gotten a ticket, was through Road blocks. Now I know, that when I see one, just pass by with your two front windows down.

Ive got pulled over and got a ticket for 50% tint on my front windows before. They were being as ass and gave me one of those "take it off then report for check up" notifications. So i had to take it off and report back for inspection ><

I got a fix it ticket for no front plate and I'm pretty sure the cop saw my front windows were tinted as he asked me to roll down my window. I have 35% in the front and the cop didn't care. It was a big waste of time, the traffic dept ended up waiving the fix it ticket fee. I live in the Bay Area, CA so it does depend on your location.

For the USAREUR people on here, in Germany (where any tint at all on driver or front passenger window is illegal): I had 35% on all four doors and 25% on the rear window of my 330i and never once had the polizei complain (had USAREUR plates too.) The MP's told me to take it off once but I just ignored them and never had any issue. It all depends on how big of a prick the MP's on each base want to be, some are definitely worse than others.

As long as you check w/ your state law for tint % and you're within its parameters any ticket can be fought and won. Just cause some cop wants to be a jackass and give you a ticket because he 'feels' your tint is too dark doesnt mean you have to accept it. The law is the law, its 35% all around here in mass so theres nothing they can do but suck it up and lose in court.

Never here in FL. We can have as low as 28% for the front sides and 15% for back sides and rear.
I would also fight a ticket if the law allows your front tin to to be say 35% and you have 35% tint and get a ticket. I know the cops here in FL have a light meter that they can measure the light penetration so their is no question if you are above or below the limit. Since we have a low % here it is sometimes hard to tell the difference between say 30% and 20% tint. For CA it seems that the front windows can't be less then 70% (yikes) so if you have 35% on the fronts then you are dead in the water as that is easily distinguishable between 70% and 35%. No meter needed to tell that.
