AZ Window Tint Question

ske · 07-30-2008

Thinking of getting some darker window tint put on but not sure how dark to get it. I saw the only law AZ has is for front side windows at 33%. I bought my car at Power Ford North Scottsdale and they already had tint on the windows. It looks like only about 50%, but the pics look a little darker. I wanna do about 15-20% If can get away with it. They just aren't dark enough for my taste, and I think a lot darker tint would really look sharp on my stang. Just wondering if anyone near Scottsdale has ever had issues with getting pulled over for tint or if the cops don't really care in the area. Thanks

Just keep in mind that law enforcement officers really dislike tinted cars...the more tint, the more they dislike them and you can't really blame them...would you want to approach a vehicle and not be able to see in?
I know that in my city the police carry light meters with them and they will pull over cars that are not in compliance with the tint laws. So, you end up getting a ticket and then you have to replace them. Stick with the law and enjoy your car...

When it comes to cops, the last thing you want to do is put them on edge.
I'd stick with the 33%...

I would get the pimping tint...I have noticed the cops really don't care about much down here!!

maybe i'll go with like 25% then. i don't think the cops would really notice 7% off the legal limit. I just wanna have all the windows the same. i think it looks better that way

8% difference, not 7. good thing i didn't major in math..
