NJ law states that you can tint the hatch as dark as you want. You can paint it black for all they care. Front side windows and windshields are not allowed to be tinted at all.

New Jersey Administrative Code 13:20-32.7 -> (d) A motor vehicle, other than a police vehicle or a motor vehicle for which a medical exemption certificate has been issued by the Division in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:3-75.1 et seq., shall not be certified which has tinted spray or plastic material added to previously approved glazing in the front windshield or windows, vents, wings, deflectors, or side shields to the immediate right or left of the driver, because such condition changes the vision and light transmission properties of the glazing in areas where driver visibility shall not be obscured or obstructed; provided, however, tinted spray or plastic material may be applied to previously approved glazing in the front windshield if such spray or material extends no lower than six inches from the top of the front windshield or such spray or material does not extend below the AS-1 marking on the front windshield.
When a New Jersey registered vehicle has a valid inspection sticker displayed and there's after-market tint; the following statutes can be issued: 39:3-47 (Altering after inspection) and 39:3-77 (Unapproved Equipment).
When a New Jersey registered vehicle does not have a valid inspection sticker and there's after-market tint; the following statutes can be issued: 39:8-1 (Failure to Inspect) and 39:3-77 (Unapproved Equipment).
39:3-77 Unapproved Equipment or Devices
1. No person shall sell, offer or use any unapproved device or equipment for use on a motor vehicle.
FN1: Administrative Code permits window tint behind the driver; however, unless that after-market tint was previously "approved by the commissioner" (which it never is) - it would be a violation.

Might want to be careful with how dark you go. Remember, tint makes it harder to see into the car, and out of the car. Even with the factory tint on my mom's minivan I have a hard time backing up at night because it's so dark. If you plan on tinting the car, make sure you get better reverse lights.
Also, as I told you before when you brought this up, you may want to wait until you are actually ready to start driving the car before you tint it. Even good quality tint will start to go bad after a while, and tinting it now means you'll have a few less years to enjoy it once you start driving.

Since you're kinda close you can goto "Boss Audio" on Smith St. in Perth Amboy, shltty location but they're cheap and good... Call them up before you go tho so you can make an appointment and not wait there.

Had mine done at Auto Image on Rt 1 in Edison. Was a few years back, but I think it was about $175. A lil' pricey, but an excellent job, and the tint never faded. Unfortunately, I had to remove it for inspection, what a pain in the a$$.:cry:
