you should have went with green 50% for windshield like me, then it looks OEM with added protection.

If that's the case, get a registered letter/note from your doctor and keep it in your glove box. That way, you can prove it's medically needed to any policeman that stops you.

go to doc about it then to see if you can get a pass for it.. I know you can get one from the eye doc if you require it... . take a pic with the doors open to see what 35% looks like.

SB got me beat by a few seconds lol.

I'd love to get it done to my car, but I sometimes find the tint on my side windows difficult to see through at night. Aesthetically it looks really good, and if it works for you...Enjoy!!

I think I asked in the FB tri-state chat....isn't it annoying to see 35% less at night? I've spent a lot of time and money on my HID's to make them brighter and sharper, so I can't imagine looking through tint that's going to take away from that.

That looks pretty good, but there is no way you wont get a ticket. I live in MD and have been thinking about getting 50% done to the front. I have 45% on all the other windows. So if they were metered they read 34%. I got pulled over for my tint over Christmas break and had to have it redone. (registered 19%)

Lol I lasted 48 hours. Was pulled over just today....I passed two troopers who were coming towards me...didn't think anything of it. 5 min later I see both of them hauling ass and the first one turned on his lights. As I am handing out license and registration, a sheriff also pulled up.

One of the troopers was disturbed at my fap nation sticker and my radar....other guy didn't really care. They both let me off though. I see both of them often so I have a feeling I will be pulled over again. Worst case, I will pay the ticket if I get one.

But wow....48 hours lmao!

In many areas, you'll get a fix-it ticket, not a fine. Personally, I think you're just asking for it running 35% tint on your windshield.

Well if 35% is against the law and he gets pulled over, it's not "whack."

I'd personally have gone with 50%, that way it isn't just stupid dark.

Its whack because you can see clearly inside if you have 35%.....cops don't have anything better to do these days.

You got pulled over because you were breaking the law. It may have seemed as a minor infraction to you, but you still broke the law and deserved to be pulled over.

It'll be an even better story when your ass keeps getting pulled over and you get upset and make a thread complaining about it. haha

I had a blacked out Silverado SS with 15% on the sides and 35% on the windshield, never got pulled over for it once in the 2 years I had it... but that was in SC where there are no inspection laws (tint law is 27% though). Now that I'm in the retarded ass marine corps I have to follow the rules or they will revoke my driving privileges on base. This is why I have the lame ass 35% on my windows.

That is awesome. Save your money for mods, not tickets. Dont be retarded, retarded.

You can only put on lame stickers on your car (and call them mods) for so long.
