The tint laws in Nevada are pretty much the same as Texas, if you're talking about Corvettes. In Nevada the legal max is 35% on the sides and any on the back window as long as you have a left and right hand rearview mirror. SO 5% all the way around would look cool, but it won't quite be legal. It is your call, if it were me I'd get the 5% all the way around. :yesnod: :cool:

no doubt that 5% looks the best, it IS illegal in NV., on the front doors. thats one of those things that you may never get pulled over for, or you might get caught the very next day, i think a man should be able to put whatever he wants on his car. here illegal tint is a 195 dollar ticket per pop. OUCH. here is the NV. law for tint. i like people to know what their getting into.
Nevada


Visor............as1

Front doors.........35%

Rear doors.........Any

Back window.........Any


266:58-a. Tinted Glass.


NRS 484.6195 Restrictions on tinting of windshield or side or rear window.


1. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires,
"light transmission" means the ratio of the amount of light
which is allowed to pass through a product or material to the amount
of light which falls on it.

2. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3, 4 and 5 a person shall not:

(a) Place, install, affix or apply upon the windshield or any side or
rear window of a motor vehicle which is required to be registered
in this state; or

(b) Operate on any highway a motor vehicle required to be registered
in this state on which there has been placed, installed, affixed
or applied upon the windshield or any side or rear window of the
motor vehicle, any transparent material which alters the color or
reduces the light transmission of the windshield or side or rear
window.

3. The prohibition set forth in subsection 2 does not apply to:

(a) A window that is to the immediate right or left of the driver
if the window is:

(1) Nonreflective; and

(2) Has a total light transmission through the combination, if any,
of transparent material and safety glazing of not less than
35 percent with a tolerance of 7 percent.

(b) A side window that is to the rear of the driver, or a rear
window, if the vehicle has outside mirrors on each side that
are located so as to reflect to the driver a view of
the highway through each mirror for a distance of not less
than 200 feet to the rear of the vehicle.

(c) Any transparent material that is installed, affixed or applied
to the topmost portion of the windshield if:

(1) The bottom edge of the material is not less than 29 inches
above the undepressed driver’s seat when measured from a point
5 inches in front of the bottom of the backrest with the driver’s
seat in its rearmost and lowermost position with the vehicle on a
level surface; and

(2) The material is not red or amber in color.

4. The prohibition set forth in paragraph (b) of subsection 2 does
not apply to a motor vehicle with a model year of 1993 or older,
if transparent material was placed, installed, affixed or applied
upon the windshield or any side or rear window of the motor vehicle
before July 1, 1993.

5. This section does not prohibit the operation or sale of a motor
vehicle which has a windshield or windows that are covered by
or treated with any material, if the vehicle was sold when new
or could have been sold when new with such material as standard
or optional equipment without violating any federal statute or
regulation governing the sale at the time of manufacture.

6. The director may, by regulation, provide for exemptions and
exceptions from the provisions of subsection 2.

7. For the purposes of NRS 483.473, a violation of subsection 2
is not a moving traffic violation.

:cheers: :cheers:

:cool: I wish I could go 5% all round, but sadly, I live in California, where the police have to worry about seeing into the vehicle. ie- We have way too many illegals living here who wish to do us harm. They are coming from south of the border at a rate of 1,000+ per day! Anyways, go for the tint bro. :)

I just had mine done this past weekend, I went 20% on the rear, 35% on the doors. I let them put Bronze on, and it's only a little bit different then the smoked look, but really nice. Well, needless to say, I drove in a day later, and got my inspection sticker with no problems :)

What a help at night though!!

I had 5% on the rear of my 84 and wouldn't do it again. Yes, it looks cool, but you can't see squat at night and if you're driving into the sun all you can see in the rear view is a reflection.
If you don't care if you can see out or not, go with the 5% ... if you want to be able to see out the back go lighter. jmo :)

Yes the 5% limo is nice. My old 90 Vette had it all around. Got a ticket for it along to go with the one for speeding. Chances are no LE would stop you solely for that but why take a chance especially if you've been drinking. Go with the 20% Llumar all around like I have now. Yes it reflects quite bit is pricey but it looks :cool: :cool: :cool:
