when you guys tint your windows...do you just tint the sides back....or do you go with a brow? i dunno if i've ever seen a picture with an FD with a brow on it...just wondering how it would look. any pics would be great. thanks

racerfoo

i guess no one has tinted windows?

SanJoRX7

Never seen an FD with the brow tint, probably because it looks wack :/

Check your local regulations & state law: here in IL it's illegal to have tinted windows, but new car dealers tint them anyways.

i dont care about illegal, they dont care here in missouri....i just wanted to see if anyone ever did...i've never seen it done on an FD, thought it might mess up the nice flow of the car, guess everyone else feels the same way

3% all around on a blck FD, looks smooth. No brow, that's gimp.

Since when is it illegal to tint a back window?

DrPJM1

Since when is the hatch glass considered a window?

I have my windows tinted pretty well on my FD. Again depends on the state for the % that can be done to them. I have 28% on the side windows and 5 on the rear.

It's glass and you can see through it.

what the ****'s a brow?

racerfoo

i think brow tinting is gay

BoOsTin FD

It's illegal in missouri to have side windows tinted more than 30 %. I know a friend who a got a ticket because he had 5% All around.

So is the windshield...

Railgun

What...is the windshield not a window too?

DrPJM1

Are we gonna argue over this 'til kingdom come? LOL!

Basically, according to webster's dictionary of automotive terminology and the Dictionary of Rice Terms: a car window open & closes, all others are referred to as glass (as in windshield or rear quarter, hatch, etc.)

You happy now? Now you've done it, I am typing fast!

If you look closely... 90% of the threads on this site end in arguments. It really sucks.

Railgun

I'm not arguing. It's all in good fun. Besides, I know I'm right, so who really cares? J/K

At any rate, I've got 5% on my REAR HATCH GLASS and haven't had any problems. I've seen tons of cars with the door WINDOWS tinted, but never hear how much harassment they get from the po po. I've been kinda thinking about doing that to mine...but haven't decided if it's with the hassle down the road.

racerfoo

freakin a, this is about tint, not the definition of a window.

btw, i heard on the radio the other day that there are no more tint laws at all in missouri.....im doing 5% all around regardless, but if its true then even better

ricola555

Florida is awesome. 5% tint all the way around, no stripe on the windshield- that's gay. What are the regulations in your state? Check out http://latint.com/regulations.htm

A lot of FD's have brow tint...and it looks fine. I've had mine for the longest while, and like any other car, it just looks normal.

I agree with Shinobi-x.There is nothing wrong with brow tint .It makes it look better...but not better than the whole windshield tinted..

Shinobi-X

LOL, now THAT is just illegal in all states.

As long as its not overboard.. ( I think some states have a regulation stating how far the "brow" tint can go down) And there isn't some white stickers saying some stupid crap on top of it to totally contrast it.. and its actually there for a reason, not for "looks" then its ok..
