I should also note that I am very very bummed that my front windows look so ... barely tinted. :rolleyes:

Holy crap RPX5!! Thats the kinda stuff that gives cops a bad name :( Cause that is a little over the top, but I guess he got what he wanted. Got a tint ticket in Denver years back on my S/C Frontier and it was only $42.

It was overkill for sure.. but he was the guy working overnights on saturday, and in no way did i want to put a chip on his shoulder, imagine coming home late with a nice girl after date or something, and there's angry cop waiting at the end of a 1.5 mile causeway (only one way in or out of my town)?? that could get embarrassing.

Eh, i kept face, did what he asked.. if it was different town, maybe a larger town, or a state cop, i would have probably took it to court for a little conversation with the legal system.

it was all a bunch of bull.. imo.. but like i said before.. i'd rather be on this guys good side.. and to be honest, there havnt been any problems since then.

i've been hassled many years over my tints on my 325i now i make sure everytime i see the po po i roll my fronts down... Here we have zero tolerance for any front tint! rears can be limo if you wanted... so with the X i have gone limo and 20% front... if i'm gonna get caught i might as well go all out! lol!

lol very true, but what if its in the dead of winter and you're like... crap, po po and roll the windows down to freeze your azz off! :rofl:

I bought it this way, but if I had to guess I would say it is 35% all around over the factory privacy glass in the rear. It is perfect for me. On my S4 I went 35% rear and 50% front, which is also quite good on a dark car w/ dark interior.

Here is a pic of mine, same colour as the original poster's car, so might help him out. Tints were on it when I got it, the fronts are not as dark as the rest, and no tint on the windscreen (New Zealand Law)
