Yea that's right, usually they really don't care, but if you get pulled over and your being an asshole...they'll start caring.

Yea haha the 50% looks good...but the side tint and rear tint also affects how dark the front window is... what % tint do you have on the car right now?

yes it reduce view in the evening ... my light got darker after i got my tint done on my windshield so sometimes i have hard time driving with my hid lights on for both headlight and foglight..

but at the same time i got 20% all around except windshield which is 50%

but during the day time it is great.. dont have to wear sun glasses in day time during driving... but attracts alot of cops down here.


i guess you can see how it looks when you see my car sometime up in nyc.

I was actually thinking of doing my front 50%. I currently have limo (5%) all around and 5 inches on the front windshield which is also limo. Maybe I might throw the 50% right over it and cover my whole windshield. I love it wen ppl cant see in and plus It looks awesome!
