30% tint in NY - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

apex32 · 11-23-2007, 12:58 AM

I'm buying a car which has 30% tint on the side and rear windows. I live in NY which i believe is 70% legal limit, but isnt that normal auto glass? Will i get a lot of police issues with 30%? I don't really want to have to pay to take it off right away. Also does NY have the "Remove it in 5 days and no ticket" law? If im not doing anything wrong or anything will i get pulled over for it? Thanks

NY only allows you to tint the rear window all the others can be 70%.

Will you be pulled over for your tinted windows? I can't possably know the answer to that. If you can be seen inside your car by the officer more times then not you will not be pulled over for just a tint violation. BUT don't count on it.

Hmm ok..

Well did you find out about the grace period? aka remove your tint in X number of days and your let off the hook?

there is no law like that in NJ and I could not find one for NY.

If anybody has that info please post thanks

IO could not find the cost posted online for a tint violation summons if anyone from NY can help with that it would be great..... its not a moving violation and I don't believe its reportable for insurance.

Someone told me the same regarding insurance, which is good. Ive heard its about $150 for a tint ticket, any ticket is money i dont want to pay though. Thanks for the help Sarge.
