tjskii: Yes o, Ɣ☺U̶̲̥̅̊ need a permit,tried to do stronghead and not get,but tis lik those police peopl dey use jazz know who no get,they always stopd me,mine were factory tinted only at the rear windows,stil had to cough up bout 25k to get a permit,and sinc den not a single officer has stoped me,tis so annoying

bambash: But is it all kinds of tint that requires a permit or just those that are really dark and prevent people from seeing the inside of a vehicle.
I am asking this because I just had a very light tint applied to my car and if I get stopped for it I plan to give the police hell.

Tstark: You DO NOT need a permit if its "factory fitted". There's a post on Nairaland that has the press release from the Commisioner of police [or whoever made the rule last year]. Just print out the press release and show it to the cops when they stop you. I carry one around with me always, but make sure its actually factory fitted cos they know how to test it.

Hi Tony, don't know what you doing around here in Nigeria hustling among us on our roads with the Nigeria Police force who keep making driving miserable with their ever inventive ways to extort money. Whats up in New York?

Anyway, I know you are probably busy but could u please make available that press release? Better still tell Jarvis to scan it and upload it...

Cheers

evryday: Guy, you don't need tinted permit any more under the new ac.igp provided it's factory fitted.Presently, issuance of tinted permit has been discontinued by the npf.Consequently,it's against the law for you to tint your car except you belong to any of these classes of citizens,the president and his vice,the senate p,the speaker and their deputies,state governors and their deputies etc.finally,even ministers,speakers of state assemblies,local govt chairmen are not permitted to tint their cars ,except just like the ones used by all of us,its factory tinted.In that regards however,the two front door glasses must be transparent.In fact,if you are caught with tinted permit issued wihtin the last six months or more,you will be arrested because,evidently,it's a fake document.Best regards bro.

991: yes, you need the permit. mine is factory fitted too and i've been using it for long, just last week i was stopped at a military check-point. i composed my self well with good grammar and they gently ordered me to remove it or get the permit.

wellheads: Car gurus, please clarify this for me. If I have a factory fitted tinted glass, do I still need police tint permit?
Or does the fact that it is factory tinted exempt me from police tint permit? Answers needed urgently, please.
