6spdg37s Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 okay so i rarely drive my viper. it sits in the garage. and im probably dropping insurance off of it in November. but im debating tinting it out .. yes or no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That depends, do you ever drive it in the cold or rain ? I know with my vette 95% of my driving is with the windows down and the top off. The 5% would be when the AC is on so I just don't see the need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwisejr Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm a tint guy so I say yes !!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm a tint guy as well. The last few cars I've purchased I've made the tint appointment the day after the delivery date. If you don't drive the car much, it won't matter when you do it, but for a DD in your area I would recommend getting it done soon so it can sit cure in the warm weather. It's a pain to have to open the door to pay the tolls on the Parkway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 ezpass FTW ! lol Our friends from Jersey were always jealous when they came to Orlando and we could just zip through the tolls with our electronic pass. They didn't think they would ever have those, since it could mean that the collectors wouldn't be needed anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I have an Ipass for Illinois tolls. Makes life A LOT easier IMO. I have tint on my G8 and it's illegal in IA. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred vette Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 IPASS FTW!!! I just got my jeep tinted and I think it completes the look. I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 IPASS is a major win, although I kinda miss the drag race coming out of the booths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Not that I know the names of all the different tollbooth passes from around the country... I personally would get tint as it really helps to set your car off and I simply don't like people staring at me when I'm going down the road.

Marylander Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'll be a contrarian -- my vette is tinted and it can be a bit of a PITA to see out of at night, especially in heavy DC area traffic and in the rain. There's no doubt it looks 10X better with the windows rolled up, but if you drive your viper with the top and windows down most of the time, I honestly don't know that it's worth it.

70'sChevyGirl Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I like tint so I say tint it. I love the way tinted windows look on a car. Alot of states say tinting your windows to a certain degree of darkness is illegal. I carry a note from my doctor in the car that states I have light sensitive eyes and need the tint for medical reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ1o87 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 New Jersey Window Tint Law New Jersey Tint Law Enacted: 2003 HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN NEW JERSEY? Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In New Jersey, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window. Windshield: No tint is allowed on the windshield. Front Side Windows: No tint can be applied legally to this window. Back Side Windows: Any darkness can be used. Rear Window: Any darkness can be used. Jeez, Dirty Jerz is worse than NY!

70'sChevyGirl Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Windshield: No tint is allowed on the windshield. Front Side Windows: No tint can be applied legally to this window. I think that the reason is because LEOs when they approach your car can not see if your holding a weapon or not. Its a safety issue. Alot of the states carry the same laws but what about FL??

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%).

WA State: n Washington state law restricts tinting on cars and small SUVs to 35 percent transparency, which means that window film prior to installation must let 35 percent of light through. n The rule applies to all windows except windshields, which can’t have any tinting below the top 6 inches. n For trucks and big SUVs (defined as those on a truck chassis) the 35 percent rule applies to front windows but not to back windows, which have no restrictions. n The ticket for breaking the law is $124.

IMADreamer Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well if Jersey cops are anything like Illinois cops you will be fine as long as you have a grown up looking car. Meaning, no loud stereo, big wings, loud exhaust, etc etc. If you drive a sport compact or wildly modded car though you'll be lucky to make it around the block without getting pulled over. Case in point, my Dad's car has full tents all around, it's a family sedan and he's never been pulled over. My friend got full tints (not nearly as dark as my Dad's) on his eclipse he literally made it two blocks from the shop before he got pulled over for tints. Just another in a long line of reasons not to like cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the LOE's have their windows tinted here too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
