His tints are somewhere around 20%, so dec dark but not limo.
The city suckss and now we just found out they are metering the parks and harbors! $1 an hour with a 2 hour max! Anything for $$$, and we already got the highest sales tax in the nation.

Thats exactly why i haven't had tints on my cars for over 5 years.
I used to get pulled over just because of the tints.

Good news for Illinois tint owners and owners-to-be....there is a bill that the house approved and is in it's 3rd reading (the last before passing) in the Senate to approve 35-50% tints on front driver and passenger side windows. I am waiting for the bill to pass before I get mine on. It is imminent from what I understand....
