How do you go about changing your inspection and registration stickers? Looks good.

What percent do yall recommend.....i want to tint my windows but im not too worried about the state laws...here they are below.....is 35 % what comes factory on the hoe?

HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN TENNESSEE?

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Tennessee, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.
Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 35% of light in.

HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN TENNESSEE?

Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.
Front Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance.
Back Side Windows No metallic or mirrored appearance.

OTHER TENNESSEE RULES AND REGULATIONS
Restricted Colors No colors of tint are explicitly banned.
Side Mirrors No restrictions.
Certificate Requirements Manufacturers of film do NOT need to certify the film they sell in the state.
Sticker Requirements The sticker to identify legal tinting is required between the film & glass on the driver’s side window.
Medical Exemption State allows medical exemptions for special tint. For more details about the specific terms of the exemption, consult your state law.

Not yet, but I'll take some soon.

I placed my stickers on a piece of clear static cling vinyl (similar to what the lube shops affix to inner windshields) which was then placed on top of the tint, on the windshield. When they expire I will replace both and use a new piece of vinyl again.

Ahh...good idea, I didn't think about that. That's the only reason I haven't tinted my w/s yet. Where'd you pick up the sheets of vinyl?

At a local sign shop, sucks though because alot of those places have a minimum charge of $25.00 plus... so the minimum I could buy was enough for the next eight years :laughing1:
