I was told the factory tint was somewhere around 35%, but found that the 20% up front was a good match.

This is a great idea... most likely they have to pass you as long as you have mirrors.

Default Thanks everybody

I'm lovin the look of the jk with the tints. Now its just a matter of deciding whether to do them or not. I don't want to spend money to get them put on, then get ticketed and have to take them off. NJ laws..

more pics appreciated

Echo, i lived in Pa for most of my 29 yrs, and depending on the local smokeys, you should not have a problem with 35%. I got away with 5% for 2 yrs before moving to Washington. Btw, you have a awesome Jeep

New Jersey most certainly does have a tint law. I believe it's the same as New York - No tint allowed on driver/passenger front windows. In Bergen County, the cops are pretty harsh (Englewood / Ft Lee) and pull over tinted cars all the time. I've had them pull out the meter on me before, and have seen them do it to other drivers..

One thing to note that if you do get pulled over for tint and the officer does not have a light meter, theyre supposed to do the 'coin' test. Theyre to pull out a coin and place it behind the window. If the inscription on the coin can be read, then youre supposedly fine.. Urban myth or fact? Dunno.. I havent tried it personally, nor would I attempt to pull that kinda shit with the police.

You must have extra bright blue lights to be seen through that tint....

its only a matter of time before you will be stopped for your tint, especially if your around north jersey at night. (39:3-75) up to $100. There is always something you can be stopped for. Somethings you would not even know. Such as, I cant tell by your pictures but, if the full width of your tire is not covered by something such as a fender flare at the top of the tire, the vehicle needs to have mud flaps to cover the entire width of the tires (39:3-79.1) up to $50. But tint stands out more and is a common stop for most PD's in the state.
