The Unofficial Jacksonville/ Camp Lejeune FIT owners

Hello to my fellow FIT freaks. Just wanted to say hello and do a roll call with nearby FIT owners here in Jacksonville and surrounding areas. My Wife and I just purchased a brand new 2013 Polished Metal Metallic with 5 miles on it.

Does anyone in my area know of a trusted and decent price tint shop that uses 3M, Suntek or other very reliable tint film? I'd like to get my 2013 tinted just wondering what the shops are like around here?

By the way what is the darkest legal tint we can put on our cars here in NC? I'm coming from CA and state laws are different wherever you go.

I'd like to have 20% in the back passenger windows and 35% up front with top 6 windshield strip put on also. Would this be legal and how much are the average tint costs to have the windows tinted?

From NCDOT

Window Tinting
There is an additional charge to check a vehicle with tinted windows. All windows with
applications of after
factory window tinting must be checked during the safety inspection. (See
exceptions below)
Windows may not be any darker than 35% visible light transmission. This standard is considered
to be met if the window tint is no lower than 32% visible light transmission when measured by
the station with a photometer.
Windshield tinting is allowed, however the combination of the factory tint and the after market
tint cannot have a light transmittance of less than 32%. The tint on the windshield cannot
extend more than five inches below the top of the windshield or below the AS1 line of the
windshield, whichever is longer.
The window tinting restrictions apply without exception to the windshield of the vehicle.
However, they do not apply to any other window of the following vehicle types:

A window of an excursion passenger vehicle, as defined in G.S. 204.01 (27) a.

A window of a forhire passenger vehicle, as defined in G.S. 204.01 (27) b.

A window of a common carrier of passengers, as defined in G.S. 204.01 (27) c.

A window of a motor home, as defined in G.S. 204.01 (27) d2.

A window of an ambulance, as defined in G.S. 204.01 (27) f.

The rear window of a propertyhauling vehicle, as defined in G.S. 204.01 (31).

A window of a limousine.

A window of a law enforcement vehicle.

A window of a multipurpose vehicle that is behind the driver of the vehicle. A
multipurpose vehicle is a passenger vehicle that is designed to carry 10 or fewer
passengers and either is constructed on a truck chassis or has special features designed
for occasional off
road operation. A minivan and a pickup truck are multipurpose vehicles.

A window of a vehicle for which DMV has issued a medical exception permit.

Medical Exceptions
A person who suffers from a medical condition that causes the person to be photosensitive to
visible light may obtain a medical exception permit. To obtain a permit, an applicant shall apply
in writing to the Drivers Medical Evaluation Program and have his or her doctor complete the
required medical evaluation form provided by DMV. The permit shall be valid for five years
from the date of issue, unless the Drivers Medical Evaluation Program directs a shorter time.
The renewal shall require a medical re
certification that the person continues to suffer from a
medical condition requiring window tinting.
A person may receive no more than two medical exception permits that are valid at any one
time. A permit issued under this subsection shall specify the vehicle to which it applies, the
windows that may be tinted, and the permitted levels of tinting. The permit shall be carried in
the vehicle to which it applies when the vehicle is driven on a highway. DMV shall give a person
who received a medical exception permit a sticker to place on the lower left
hand corner of the
rear window of the vehicle to which it applies. The sticker shall be designed to give prospective
purchasers of the vehicle notice that the windows of the vehicle do not meet the requirements
of G.S. 20
127 (b), and shall be placed between the window and the tinting when the tinting is
installed. DMV shall adopt rules regarding the specifications of the medical exception sticker.

Failure to display the sticker is an infraction punishable by a two hundred dollar ($200) fine

I've seen many FITs in town but most probably don't know about this site. Many red, white, black and silver colors!
