Ahhh now this looks like 20%. I think 20% is perfect when you are not in too much sun obviously...15% is the darkest I would go to chance it with a state trooper here...

i really want to get 15% but im in rhode island with a florida plate and i dont want to get harrassed by the police, because i honestly dont know how long im going to be up here, and i dont want them to start talking smack about me having to take them off or register my car in rhode island or something if im going to be here long..
