Good luck with that the law here would've pulled you after it was finished. I like the look though can't see anyone inside and the summers that car will feel like a freezer inside.

Finally someone else with my type of style.
I tinted my front window back in the fall and had been riding without issue for months until the other day when a cop pulled me over just for my tint. I have 20% on the other windows and 35 on the front. My interior is ash gray so I had to get dark tint for it to appear tinted. It looks great during the day and even better at night. I will post pics soon cause now after being pulled over, I have to take it off and take the car to DMV to get cleared by sheriff instead of getting a ticket. He just came up and said "how dark are your windows" and then looked at the windshield and laughed.
"Oh, you're way illegal", he said pulling out his ticket book. Get it fixed, he said. (They dont pull it off right then, anymore? Couldve saved me money. If anyone knows if I can do it myself please let me know if it is worth it. Probably costs 150 to get it taken off including the sides. Sucks.) I will be riding clean for a while and then doing it all again when the summer hits.
It just makes my ride look so fresh and unique.
Nothing like getting kudos from Benz drivers on the road on a 9 year old car.
Even in TX where the rules are a lot less enforced, it is such an eye catcher that one day a cop will just pull you over to see if it is legal cause they cant tell but it looks too dark. Have fun til then. Looks better in person I bet.

You;re just rolling the dice on when you'll get popped for it.. and good luk with the veicle inspection because many won;t even pass inspection anymore in Tx is the tint is illegal because the shops are now being held liable as well as the drivers.
Just filling you in.. start counting,
