In Mb the legal amount is 50% on the side on cars not sure what the back is. I put 35% all the way around so that its dark but not so dark i'm begging to get pulled over in the city, and now i hear they are upping there quota and are giving tickets for not having washer fluid in your car. So go with 35% its not as dark and looks better than the 50%. I Had 5% in the back of my corvette and 35% on the sides 4:30 in the morning going through the city had a cop pull right beside me i acknowledged him and he did the same, could have given him a reason to pull me over but since it wasn't so darka nd he could see me its harder to tell what the tint is. i'd rather be safe than sorry by putting a little lighter than dark
I can chime in on this one:
NC GS 20-127 allows cars to be tinted 35% with a 3% variance for ALL the windows on your car. There are NO points for a window tint ticket but the fine is $290.00. It is a misdemeanor which means you can be arrested for the violation if the same Officer/Trooper stops you for it and chooses to go that route instead of giving you a ticket if you don't get in compliance.
NC tint law also allows out of state vehicles to be cited under NC law if the tint is in violation of that states tint law.
Hope this helps you decide what to do.
Did you happen to read that the OP needs to know about Virginia law? :bored:
Well since he is going to school in NC and says he will be in VA during the summer and it isn't summer yet, I figured he was worried about getting a ticket between now and then. :bored:
noobs :nonono:
How is that a Noob response ?? He stated he was going school in NC and was going to be in VA for the summer? so it is possible he could be cited in either state. :dw:
Considering he is legal in NC, that isnt the issue.
He is not legal in NC if he has 20% tint on his car. Any lower than 32% is a violation, he said he has 50% on the sides and 20% on the rear and in NC on a passenger car, ALL the windows have to be 32% or higher and he can have tint from the top of the windshield down 5" or to the AS1 line, whichever is greater.
It is on his rear window and in NC, as with most other states, you do not even need a rear window if you have dual sideview mirrors, just like panel vans. Thus, he is legal.
NC GS 20-127
(c) Tinting Exceptions. The window tinting restrictions in subsection (b) of this section apply without exception to the windshield of a vehicle. The window tinting restrictions in subdivisions (b)(1) and (b)(2) of this section do not apply to any of the following vehicle windows:
(1) A window of an excursion passenger vehicle, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(27)a.
(2) A window of a for‑hire passenger vehicle, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(27)b.
(3) A window of a common carrier of passengers, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(27)c.
(4) A window of a motor home, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(27)d2.
(5) A window of an ambulance, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(27)f.
(6) The rear window of a property‑hauling vehicle, as defined in G.S. 20‑4.01(31).
(7) A window of a limousine.
(8) A window of a law enforcement vehicle.
A mustang does not fit into this category nor does the law say anything about having dual side view mirrors for an exemption of the rear window being tinted.
Regardless, you still miss the point that he was asking about Virginia. But feel free to continue to argue on the interwebz. :bored:
Well since he does have a rear window and it is tinted 20% he is illegal regardless of dual side mirrors on a passenger car. Never does he specifically say "What is the tint law in VA"
He simply said he lives in VA and goes to school in NC and was worried about getting another ticket and having his license suspended and going to be driving in VA this summer (and since it is not summer yet, he would be driving in NC until then). I was just trying to say that he did not have to worry about points for this violation while driving in NC but it was a hefty fine.
:rockon:
Now go read the statute on requiring a rear window.
Go back and re-read his question and apply actual context to it this time.
Nurturing encouragement. That's why I love this place!

Thanks for repeating what the OP said. I read it the first time, noob.
Did I say "noob response"? Nope. Just "noob"
Your join date makes you a noob, noob. Get it? Continuing to take others posts out of context will make you other things. Don't be other things. :bored:
