Lookin' great Ric, where's the tint

No tint, just the visors. When you get my age you get tired of giving the cops an excuse to pull you over. Lol

Not in California. Only the rear windows are legal.

Wow, that's crazy. I've tinted the windows on all my cars, those that weren't done already. Window tint is legal on all windows except the front, in all states in Australia. The maximum tint is 35%, but you can go darker on the rear windows without getting in too much trouble.
Is there any particular reason it's not allowed, and how many other states don't allow it?

Law enforcement cant see inside the vehicle if its all blacked out.
Its all about safety. They dont hit on tint like they used to. But i have been pulled over by PSP b4 and he told me he was just using tint as an excuse to pull over and check for any drinking and driving.
Usually we just go 20% all the way around or just 20% on the fronts to match the back factory tinted glass.
My state tint law is 70% light transmission. Most states have some sort of tint laws

Yeah the sun shines in all 50 states, so I'll never understand why some have laws while others don't. I get the "safety" thing. It's like the front plate law, some states have it while others don't and I don't wanna hear "it takes a tool out of our toolbox" either! You've got a description of the car and pull them over from behind, GET RID OF IT

It's a different world over here, Australia is the melanoma (skin cancer) capital of the world, you're much more likely to die from that than a bad guy hiding behind tinted windows.
If the bad guy wants to get away over here, they just drive fast on the wrong side of the road, the pursuit will be called off, every time.

It actually has less to do with the cops being able to see in your car [I’ve actually never heard that as a legit reason for it being law] but more so You being able to see pedestrians at night. That actually has proven to be a valid point for me as I once had a close call and nearly ran someone over 1 night. Didn’t see them until the last second! Lol.

Now That they can kiss my arse on… The way I see it, if it’s a known fact by just about all men in the world that Corvettes should never have a front license plate and therefore they’re given a pass by all, then damnit why should my Cadillac be required to have 1? I’ll put a plate of my choice. This is Mercia!

I was going through some old pics and found these two of my last car, a Holden Berlina International. I can't remember what I was using on it, but check out that gloss. It was about 8 years ago, so it was probably Duragloss stuff.

Let me start by saying that none of my vehicles have a front plate (I make sure to let the dealers know if they screw a plate holder into my bumper they will loose the sale). That being said I know not having one is illegal in my state and I’m exposing myself to hassle (by being pulled over and/or ticketed) and cost and hassle of paying tickets. But I understand the cost of my actions and I choose to run without a front plate anyway.

You are certainly not alone.
I work for a Ford dealer, and I am in charge of all incoming vehicles and the entire lot in general.
The sales staff and/or service manager give me a list of incoming retail (factory order) vehicles that the buyers DO NOT want the front plate brackets installed. Mostly Mustangs (as you could imagine), but also full-sized Bronco's.
The minute those vehicles hit the lot, I remove the front plate brackets from the trunk or interior of them and bring them to the parts desk.
The reason we do this is so that one of our techs does not mistakenly install it.
(This happened in 2021 to one of our first Bronco's, and we had to eat the cost of sending it to the body shop for repair).
On a Bronco, the front plate bracket requires drilling into the front bumper........

Agreed. One of my 1st jobs was working at a JDM go fast shop in the late 90’s. The owner was a couple years older than me so we where both into cars majorly. He use to get a Magazine from Japan called Options.
I’d be amazed at all the beautiful twin turbo’d wagons they would have in their. I was especially partial to the Honda’s and Suburu’s.
Love all the Euro Wagons too.
Wish chevy would have made the discontinued SS in a wagon.
Beautiful ride [mention]Big Dave [/mention]

No front plates for me either. The DMV has stopped requiring tabs for front plates so I just have been going plateless.
Not to worried in the Chevelle as most cops just give me thumbs up. Little worried in the Camaro.
