Window tint in NY
I just heard that a new law was passed in NY regarding % window tint. I don't know anything about tinting as I have not had it on any car that I owned and removed it from my pick up when I bought it. The law says it needs to be 70% visibility or 30% tint. Seems this was bought about by the police not being able to see into the car which have caused problems. The catch is that if the tint doesn't meet these requirements your car won't pass state inspection. Just a tip to the NY folks but don't be surprised if this trend expands.

My 2009 XKR already had a slight tint in the factory glass. Unless you're exposed to massive amounts of sunlight (here in NM we have 350 days of sunshine) then the window tint is probably not needed. I do however highly recommend a sunshade for the front windshield when parked.
In NY, only the top 6" of the windshield glass is allowed to be tinted, that in my opinion would not look good or serve a useful purpose.

*** For those who have tinted their windshield, "How does it stand up to inspection & other stickers that mounted and removed from windshield?"

Good advice. Also, I would suggest ceramic based tint. I had my XK tinted and it sounds like the same laws for MA or close to it. I do not believe we can tint the windshield.

NY is 70%. That's ridiculous. TX is 25% thank God because the sun can be brutal.

Simple require the business enterprise to provide a receipt showing the % of window tint applied.
If you're not going to tint your personal vehicle than none of this matters.
