I'm sure that the overwhelming majority will say 5% but I wanted people's opinions. I'm leaning towards 5% but didnt want it so dark I'd have trouble backing or seeing on rainy nights.

I have 20% on my patrol car now so I know how it is to drive with that on. You 5% guys who have it let me know how you like it. If 20% looks good let me know that too. Thanks!!

5% looks great but is a little too dark for comfortable driving at night. Now I have 20% on the front windows and 5% on the back doors and the rear window.

But personally I don't like when there is a difference in the darkness on the doors, that's why on my 330i I did 5% on the rear window and 20% on all doors. I think it looks much cleaner from the side and dark from the rear. Here are some pictures of the tint.

I have 20% and 25on the rear on mine and I wouldnt go with any darker IMHO.

if you want to be able to see good at night don't put 5 percent on, don't put different tint percentages in my opinion. and 5 percent makes a sunny day seem a lot dimmer

Go for the 20%. It's the perfect balance. 5% is hard to see at night. I used to have it on my car (came with the car) and it made me an uneccesary target for law enforement. I was forced to remove it and pay a fine. I have 35% now and it's waaaay to light. I miss my privacy!

I have 20% (16.4% when measured) Non Reflective all the way around....love it during the day, cant see shyt at night though, expecially when trying to back up, have to roll the window down to see anything in the mirror.

To me lighter tint gives the car a little "class". Never have to worry about cops, no problems with night vision, "cops right behind you and you dont even know it" dam! and last but not least it looks better. IMO

I have a tint meter...the 20% on my Impala actually meters out at 14%. Im thinking 5% on the back glass, 20% on the sides w/ the strip across the windshield. Decisions decisions.

I have 20% all the way around and wish it were a little darker for those sunny days. You can still make out a person's face when passing by, but once the sun starts to go down, all you see is a silloute. Then at night, you really can't see in. I have no problems seeing to back up or looking out the side windows at night. Does your 06 have the back up sensors? If so, then I'd say do the back in 5% and the sides in 20% like HyeLife suggested above.

i have 5% all around. and driving on the street may be hard at times but not as hard as i thought it would have been. for the sunny days here in fl, its great. at night when i`m in a crouded area like a walmart parking lot, i roll the windows down. overall, its not as bad as i thought it would have been. for comfirtable all around driving, 20% is better. but 5% just makes my car look better.

To me lighter tint gives the car a little "class". Never have to worry about cops, no problems with night vision, "cops right behind you and you dont even know it" dam! and last but not least it looks better. IMO


i must correct myself, i do think black on black on black looks good also.

I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl, but why is a person in law enforcement openly violating the law? Tint laws in Georgia are 32% on the sides and back window, but you propose to do 20% or maybe even 5%? Am I missing something, or are you another law enforcement officer who thinks the law does not apply to them?

No, you are the turd in the punch bowl. GA law excludes law enforcement vehicles and officers working in certain capacities from the tint law. I don't remember anywhere in the original post asking what your opinion on law enforcement was...stick to the topic smart guy.

i have 5%...

http://www.legis.state.ga.us/legis/GaCode/?title=40&chapter=8&section=73.1

GA law provides that "law enforcement vehicles" are exempt from the tint laws. I'd hardly call your personal ride a law enforcement vehicle. The law also does not provide an exemption for "officers working in certain capacities", whatever that means. Even if it did, your posts suggest you're contemplating different tint setups completely for looks, as opposed to a certain function which would be more in line with law enforcement activities.

And as to your comment about my opinion, cry me a river tough guy. I'll comment and opine on anybody's post, whether its relevant or not. That's what a free-flowing discussion board is all about. Deal with it.

I have 15% tint all around on my 1998 Mark VIII LSC and it looks great. I did get pulled over for it because California Highway Patrol cops are lame but I got it signed off by my friend who works at the tint shop. Remember if you have black leather interior any tint will look darker. My car has light graphite so it's not as dark as it could be.

i have 5% and it can be difficult, but its looks make it worth it

Who said this was my personal car? Whether it be for looks or functionality has nothing to do with it. Why dont you let me know the next time you come through GA and I'll do a quick inspection of your car to check for violations.

Great, another wanna-be cop with a chip on his shoulder and anger-management issues.

I think this is your personal car because you've mentioned that you want to add a spoiler too. Who puts a spoiler on a law enforcement vehicle? And unless you're paying for it yourself, I'd say there's no way the state would fork over the money for that mod. Besides, I seriously doubt the state would pay for Lincolns as law enforcement vehicles. Nice try, though.

So if you're a real cop (which I doubt), how can you on the one hand knowingly and intentionally violate the law, and on the other hand enforce it? Hmmmmmm??

but back on topic, im getting mine done tomorrow, i think i should do 5% on rear and sides, but front 20%, or 20% all around, any comments? is it really that bad at night with 5% and is there a noticable difference if i mix 5% and 20% (front - rear).....if car color matters, the dark red ls, let me know ur opinion guys

and one more, i live in tx so tx sun can heat up a car, would it be better for the interior temperature and wear and tear to get 5% and suck up the pain not being able to fully see

Take a look at my pic gallery. I have 35% all around and would have liked to go darker (20%) but the tint laws in Arkansas wont allow it. It is a happy medium between comfort/privacy and function.

I would suggest 20% if you feel you can get away with it. I will make no comments on the morality of your actions. I too am not perfect and do break the law on occasion... and I have paid my dues.

wow 35% looks perfect, i think the law in TX is 25% or 20%, im gonna keep it legal and if i want it darker just get more put on, seeing as im only paying 100 bucks for parts/labor

wow 35% looks perfect, i think the law in TX is 25% or 20%, im gonna keep it legal and if i want it darker just get more put on, seeing as im only paying 100 bucks for parts/labor

If you want to stay legal and your state will allow it, I would go with 20% if your already contemplating adding more tint on top of your existing tint once you get it done. Look in my garage at some of the side profile's of my car. I have 20% and wish it were a little darker at times, but over all I'm pretty pleased with it. Also, tell the person doing your tint to take the back brake light out and tint over it, otherwise it will look like crap IMHO.

how do u take the back brake light out?

how do u take the back brake light out?


Honestly, I don't know. I do know that the plastic shroud casing around it pops off, but be careful with it, I think the tint company that did mine did tried to take it off, but now it want snap back in place. I think they broke a clip or something.

u have to pop the trunk and take those metal shields of the clips, then just push the clips up

Been doing this for 7 years slim. You don't know what my agency pays for us to drive given our assignments and you don't know what the policy is regarding our "alteration" of these vehicles. A car I'll be forced to work out of for the next 2-3 years would certainly be worth me paying to have it tinted.

I have an idea...how about you stick to welding and I'll stick to police work. If you should doubt me or what I do I'd be happy to meet you on the side of the side of the road down here and we'll talk about it.

If money is not an object perhaps you should look into this type of system.

Electronicly controlled tint.... sounds pretty cool to me. I am sure this is expensive though. Something I've wanted for a long time now.

Here's another site
http://www.ltismartglass.com/evtp.htm

Atlanta.. HAHAHA.. calm down kimosabe.... We're all friends here...
Some people just like to express thier opinons.. but so does everyone.

Just blow it off, some people like to talk without knowing the whole story (i.e. your exempt from the laws due to police work)... ESPECIALLY someone who doesn't even live in your state..

BUT!!!!! He does bring up some very interesting points about your spoiler and tinting

I heard somewhere this phrase, so hope you get the idea if I say it wrong..
"Opinions are like A$$holes, everyone has one, thiers smell like roses, and everyone elses stink."

Bodyshield,
The legal tinting in Texas is 35% on the front window and winshield, you can go as dark as you want on the rear windows and backshield...

The third high mounted brake light on the inside of the car is alittle tricky, I had to change out a bulb two days ago...
You have to push down on cover and pull back. there are some teeth on the cover and teeth on the assembly that catch each other to keep it in place. I should have taken some pictures to better explain.. I'll see if I can take some later today and post them... It's takes a 3156 bulb ($3.99 for a pack of two a autozone)

Take a look at my pic gallery. I have 35% all around and would have liked to go darker (20%) but the tint laws in Arkansas wont allow it. It is a happy medium between comfort/privacy and function.

35%? the receipt/warranty for my tint says 15 on back glass and brow and 30 on the doors

35%? the receipt/warranty for my tint says 15 on back glass and brow and 30 on the doors

Correct. I was told 35 at one tint shop and 30 at another. I know the back can be darker but I didnt feel it necessary.

In AR the tint laws apply to the net (window + film).
http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/AR/
This site would indicate that I could have gone darker..... hummm perhaps the shop was just selling the most popular levels of the film.

Either way I am mostly satisfied with the window film.

n8... that website has tinting % AS OF 1993... Now I know that some laws don't change much, but it's been 13 years since then.... you might want to get a second opinion from another non-out of date website..

Fair enough, I'm done. I didn't sign up to argue or fight but to get some good info on a car we all love and enjoy. I'll call a truce w/ Mr Todd G.

As for the 3rd brake light I haven't even looked at mine. I have an 06...it's a the top I believe. No clue on how to remove it but I'll try. The tint man is coming tomorrow morning. I'll post some pics and let you guys see how it turned out.

n8... that website has tinting % AS OF 1993... Now I know that some laws don't change much, but it's been 13 years since then.... you might want to get a second opinion from another non-out of date website..

True... I just googled "arkansas tint law" and that was on top of the list. I would just like to point out that there is conflicting information out there. As I stated I called 3 tint shops in the area and got 2 different answers for the "legal limit"


Did anyone take a look at that Smartglass or spd-system I linked? What are your thoughts? Looks like a good start on a great idea to me.

n8

is that where the tint is done at the users options? ive seen something where there is some kind of lcd in between 2 sheets of glass and the driver can darken or lighten the windows depending on what he wants. i bet its as expensive as hell though.

I have 5% on the front doors and 1% on the rest.:D I use my mirrirs a lot more now.:lol: Note the second picture. Door open and you still can't see through the tint.

why do you have those mirrors by each wheel?

Helps the judges with seeing that the rims and wheel wells are clean. Plus the side that is facing the sun. The rims "shine" like crazy. Polish the rims put the mirrors under them and let them "shine".:cool:

just got 20% done all around and it looks gorgeous will post pics

Good deal. Give it a little time to cure out and I think you'll be very pleased with your decision.

I just read this thread all the way thru and i find some things interesting. I think its kinda funny that some people called this guy out on being a cop. I'm not going to join on that, nobody really knows anybody on the internet. BUT, there are some points here. 1) Most agencies have a policy against internet submissions/postings regarding themselves and their duty. 2) Most cops dont go around advertising that their cops. 3)He mentions his "patrol car" in his 2nd post. Is that the first vehicle you have ever had tint on? Never been in a car with window tint? 4)About it being his "personal" car. Most big agencies, which i guess Atlanta could be one, have alot of politics regarding vehicle use, no way is a Lincoln LS going to be sanctioned by the department. Maybe a seized vehicle. And if it was used for "other puposes" i highly doubt a trained officer is going to be on the internet advertising the fact. If tint was a factor in the use of the vehicle then you would no doubt go for the darker tint. 5)The meeting at the "side of the side of the road" comment. What is that? Either a moron or a very poorly trained officer, not a 7 yr veteran.

I had limo tint on my last car and while i loved the look it was tough to see anything at night. And i go camping alot so it made it tough backing into campsites. I backed into a picnic table one time because i couldnt see anything behind me. So this time i went a step lighter and am really happy with it. Better visibility at night, and still looks really good.

Ok, if you read back through the posts I never said this was my work car, I simply said how did anyone know if it was or not? An 06 LS is not a stretch for officers to use considering all of the seizures and asset forfeiture money that comes in. As a matter of fact a good friend of mine was issued an 06 Escalade recently. He can, if he chooses, pay out of his pocket to tint the windows in that vehicle. Since it is owned by a police agency and is being used for police work it is exempt from the tint laws.

Some, not all agencies do have policies regarding putting their information online. Not once have I posted the name of my agency, what my last name or badge number is, or shown any pictures of my car or uniform. Most agencies don't care if you put this information online anyway, just so long as nothing that could reflect badly on the dept. is said.

All I was doing was simply pointing out that before expressing such criticism know exactly what you're talking about. He didn't know if it was a dept. issued car or not. Yes, there is 20% tint on my personal car and no, I don't think I'm "above the law." I'm no different than anyone else on here who has their windows a little too dark, or altered their suspension a little too much or played their stereo a little too loud. We all know that technically it's illegal but we roll the dice anyway.

I just wanted to know how people liked their tint. I'm really not trying to argue with anyone. Now can we please get past this?

I'm with Atlanta... seems there is more *ITCHING than anything else..

People deal with your quams on some other site, keep it civilized here..

There are no "shoulder chips" here.. Get past it and move on.

I agree with the statements above. The origianal post made by Atlanta was inquiring on the opinions of tint %. Granted the words "patrol car" were used, but why does it always have to be taken to that personal level. We have been a long time on here without all of this bickering lately, but all of a sudden these personal level attacks are popping up. Why??.......I've been in a few myself, and wished I had never gotten started in them when all was said and done. I've lost respect for a few members on here just becasue of the way they feel they have to uphold their opinion. I can respect anyone's opinion, just don't try to tear my personal life up in the mean time. There's no reason for it.

Atlanta, I hope you've found the info you origianlly asked for. There a lot of good opinion's in this thread on why ppl with with the % they did. If you can weed through the other crap.

Well I still have issues. Seems to me a lot of this could have been resolved a while ago if Atlanta was more forthcoming about his intentions. But instead, he's been dodging the issues and answering questions with questions. This suggests he has something to hide.

Atlanta, please tell us if are you a real police officer or not? Your posts and proposed actions suggest that you are not, so I'm giving you a chance to clarify this. I'm not looking for an agency name or badge number. A simple Yes or No would be fine.

Also, nice story about the Escalade, but it doesn't address your particular vehicle. So please tell us, is YOUR 06 LS your own personal car, or a car to be used as a law enforcement vehicle? If its going to be a law enforcement vehicle, why can't you just say "Yes, this is a law enforcement vehicle so the tint laws don't apply". If its your personal car (e.g., not a law enforcement vehicle), why can't you say, "Yes, its my personal car, I know what the limits are on legal tinting, but I'm going to tint it darker anyway".

Yes, there is 20% tint on my personal car and no, I don't think I'm "above the law."

Obviously you DO think you're above the law because you've darkened your windows beyond what the law allows.

I think Atlanta has his answers. 5% is too dark for night driving and does pose various risks during the daytime. If by chance your in an accident at night, the other driver will have your ass on a platter for having 5%. The cop thing, i'm not trying to attack him personally. I just read thru the thread and made some observations. I know of plenty of "odd" cars used for law enforcement purposes. It happens. But some of the comments were unprofessional for a LEO and some answers were alittle shady. When people intentionally throw it out there that they're a cop then its usually not true. Not saying thats this case, but thats usually the deal. Atlanta, if your a true LEO then i honestly dont expect you to say so as ToddG is requesting. I'm just saying some things that were said were alittle out of line. On the other hand if it is just a personal car then come clean and enjoy the ride. I agree that cops dont obey 100% of the laws 100% of the time. Cops arent chosen to be the perfect citizen, they are professionals who are accredited and sanctioned to enforce our laws. Nobodys perfect. Hell, have any of you people who work in an office environment ever took a pen home from work or something else? None of us are perfect law obeying citizens.

Being more forthcoming with my intentions??? I thought I was crystal clear when I asked a simple question about the tint. I'm not dodging any issues and will gladly answer anything you want.

In the last post I said, yes..I do have 20% on my car....the LS. It IS my personal car. If I get stopped and get a ticket then who am I going to bitch to? No one. I'll take it and move on. If Todd has driven 61MPH in a 60MPH zone I suppose he thinks he's above the law too now? That's stupid. It's a personal decision I made to tint the LS to 20%. Like FLA said above, no one is perfect. You (Todd) started in on me w/o knowing if it was a personal can or not. It's DEFINITELY not too far fetched to have an LS as a work vehicle, especially w/ the larger agencies that have drug task forces that seize so many cars at a time. I was just making a point.

Yes, I am a police officer and in a few months I will have 7 years in this line of work. I never advertised that I was a cop (other than saying my patrol car had 20%) until he decided to comment on my profession. I'd like to think that I could offer some kind of help or advice on questions related to police work but not if I'm gonna be persecuted b/c I decided to put 20% tint on my car. Guess that means I'm corrupt right? To have commented and said that I shouldn't tint the windows b/c it's illegal would have been fine. He's absolutely right. None of us should do it b/c it IS against the law. I do however feel like it was a little out of line to throw in the remark about me being just another officer that thinks the laws don't apply to him. It served no purpose other than being a direct personal attack on me...you don't even know anything about me. I shouldn't have made some of my remarks so for that I apologize, but I took it personally. How else was I supposed to take it? It was personal.

So why are we still talking about this? If anyone would like to organize a meet near ATL I'd love to come. I'd be happy to "verify" my employment, status, etc, you name it...just not online =)

by the way, if anyone still cares after how out of hand this post has gotten...here is how the tint turned out.

It looks good.:)

BTW If you get pulled over for the tint, being an officer might give you a little professional leverage.;) Nothing wrong with that.:)

Nu uh, dont even get people started about that stuff on here! I hardly ever get pulled over but if I do I don't advertise what I do. I don't like it when other guys do that to me (if I stop them) and expect something in return so I don't do it to them.

My wife got a speeding ticket a few months ago. The officer that stopped her knows that I'm an officer and that she was my wife and wrote her a ticket. Hell, she was pulled over only a few hundred yards from our house. We paid it and never bitched...wrong is wrong.

BTW Rollin...how do you see out of 1% glass?? That seems like it would be like black spraypaint on there! You must have some eagle eyes.

Also, if any of you guys live VERY close to ATL, I have a guy that will come to your house and tint the windows in your ride. He usually charges 100 bucks and does good work. If you aren't happy he'll come back and do it again.

BTW Rollin...how do you see out of 1% glass?? That seems like it would be like black spraypaint on there! You must have some eagle eyes.

Wouldn't black urethane bumper coater be a lot cheaper? :cool:

06AtlantaLS, did you do the top of the windshield too? How far?
Looks good!

no i didnt do the windshield. i was going to but there is that gray liner dotted stuff surrounding the rear view mirror. the tint would have a hard time sticking to that and if i put it in 2 pieces on the left and right side of that liner stuff i think it would have looked wierd.

Atlanta, thank you for your honesty. I didn't mean to get into a heated debate about this, but its an issue I feel strongly about.

Here's my main concern, and then I'll be done. It really bugs me when politicians (e.g., those who make the laws) and police officers (e.g., those who enforce the laws) knowningly and willingly violate the law. Feel free to disagree with me, but in my mind, politicians and police officers should be held to a higher standard when it comes to obeying the law. Otherwise, it sets a bad example for the people, especially young kids.

A quick story. The state senator who represents my district once went to a strike held by the nursing union at a local convelescent home. She wanted to show her solidarity with the nurses. OK, I'm fine with that, she can show her support. But her behavior went beyond that and she ended up getting arrested! I called her office later that week and complained that how could a state legislator knowingly violate the laws she helps make? I have no problem with her showing support for whatever group she wants, but do it within the bounds of the law. She's a public official who should know better.

Same situation here. I have no problem with Atlanta tinting his windows, but since this is his personal ride and does not qualify for an exemption, and Atlanta knows the tint laws, just tint the car so that it complies with the law. To do otherwise, seems to me, would set a bad example for everyone, and lets people believe that its OK not to obey the law.

Here's a scenario I'm thinking of:

Young Kid: "Officer Roger, Officer Roger! That's a real clean LS you've got there! Wow, its so cool! You've even tinted the windows!"

Officer Roger: "Yes, Tommy, this is my new car. I'm glad you like it!"

Young Kid: "Gee Officer Roger, that tint looks real dark. What percent is it?"

Officer Roger: "Well, Tommy, its 20%."

Young Kid: "But Officer Roger, our Civics teacher, Mrs. Jones, told us that Georgia Statutes only permit 32% and higher tint levels. How can you put 20% on your new car? I guess that means I can put 20% on my windows when I get my first car too, right?"

How does one respond to that? I'm not saying anybody is corrupt, but to me looks bad, and could lead to other questions like if he knowingly violates the tint laws, what other laws is he knowingly violating?

Am I off base here? Should politicians and police officers be held to a higher standard when complying with the law? I think they should, but would like to know what others think.

Nu uh, dont even get people started about that stuff on here! I hardly ever get pulled over but if I do I don't advertise what I do. I don't like it when other guys do that to me (if I stop them) and expect something in return so I don't do it to them.

Your right.:rolleyes: SOME people might want to argue that too.;) "cough" Fla02LS "cough":lol: Thats a joke poeple don't freakout.:lol:

My wife got pulled over the night before Thanksgiving. Illinios State trooper pulled her over. Now at this point the windows were 20% (front & rear) for about 9 months. Also the LS was still stock looking. City and County officers had seen the car everyday during this time. Never messed with us. My wife is a RN. In our area, there is professional courtesy between the officers and the nurses. Warning to the nurses for vehicle violations. And the nurses bend the rules for the guys at the hospital. Now the wife was coming back from the store with formula for our daughter. The trooper pulled her over and kept hassling her about where she was coming from and going too. Shining his light into the car. Wanting to know what was in the bag on the frontseat(cans of formula). Basicly being a jerk. When he couldn't find anything to mess with her about, he wrote her a ticket. I was fine with the ticket, BUT I took exception to his treatment of my wife. I called his shift commander and complained to him about the treatment. Then I mentioned the wife being a RN. He told me how to get out of the ticket and said he would "speak" with the officer. Our area is all about who you know and name dropping. Lot of political games.

You being in law enforcement. You might have heard about the shotting of an officer here(Belleville Il). 17yr vet in the dept shot in the face with a shotgun. Perp committed suicide few hours later in the standoff.

BTW Rollin...how do you see out of 1% glass?? That seems like it would be like black spraypaint on there! You must have some eagle eyes.
I have found I pay a lot more attention to my mirrors and my surroundings, when I drive.:)

06AtlantaLS BTW Rollin...how do you see out of 1% glass?? That seems like it would be like black spraypaint on there! You must have some eagle eyes.


i actually know someone that spray painted their windows black, and it actually looked good from the outside but the inside was like flat black and you couldn't see at all out of it. and when i had triple 5 percent on my back glass i could still see out until it got dark.

I see what you're saying Todd...I really do. And we should be held to a higher standard. I think the "little Johnny" scenario might be a bit far fetched but it makes sense. When I'm off duty no one known I'm a police officer...I roll incognito. It's like i said, I made a personal choice just like everyone else on here to knowingly tint them darker than I should. If I get stopped I'll take whatever comes my way.

I NEVER expect anything special b/c of my status. Honestly, the only reason I ever stop someone for tint is b/c its the only violation (PC) I have and I need to stop that car to check them out. I work a crime suppression type unit (not the usual polyester uniform guy answering calls and working wrecks) and focus mostly on dope and gang bangers. Most cops here think it's gay to write tickets for stuff like tint. Me personally, I don't ever write speeding tickets. I speed just like everyone else. I'd be a hypocrite if I did.

The tint is about as risky as I get (maybe a tinted taillight or two). I do know guys who think that b/c they are a cop they should get away with anything. Trust me...it's not like that. I have personally arrested 2 officers and several more corrections officers. They all deserved it. I work hard and represent my agency well...hell, I was even on an episode of COPS!

So, with that said I think we can bury the hatchet. We all have differing views of opinions here...that's the beauty of this. If you're ever down this way I'll buy you a beer (or the non-alcoholic beverage of your own choosing, lol).

hell, I was even on an episode of COPS!
Wait, I thought you said you worked hard and represented your department well. How can you have it both ways? :D

Lol, I felt like such an idiot when they were filming me. It totally not how it seems. The action is all real, but a lot of the other stuff is carefully choreographed by the crew.

Fighting on the net is like playing in the special olympics... Even if you win, you're still retarded.

Just my two cents

I havn't tinted my LS yet... I like the stuff on tinting mentioned here; good info. I have my Reg Cab F-150 4x4 tinted, 5% in the back, 35% on the sides.... Here in michigan, you can technically only have 4" of tint along the top of your front side windows, unlimited everywhere else. I've never been pulled over for tint though; of course that might have something to do with it being a lifted 4x4 with a lot of extra work... You don't see too much trafficing in lifted 4x4's. Truth is that being pulled over for tint... it's only a justification for a traffic stop; they don't really care about your tint, more like what you might have in the car.

here is where it might get sticky... my Black lincoln with tint... being a younger guy... asking to be pulled over. We'll see though. I'm leaning to 20% all around myself.
