That's why you always put both side windows down, turn on the interior lights, and open the sun roof visor if you have one. Make it clear that you have nothing to hide.

On a side note, why do you all have such light tint?

Just a little FYI.

she never even asked about it

I got one from my dermatologist for Rosacea. I just handed him the form and he filled it out in a snap.

Im approved now for 70% on my windshield but Idk if its even worth it, can you guys post pics of your tinted windshields so I know? Im thinking 50 would be good considering right now I have 20% all around

wait, dermatologist? i had no idea a skin doctor could do that, and my derma is tight as **** and would prob write me a prescription for xanax if i asked....so i can forsure get it done by her

and 70% on the windshield still isnt really ****, but you could probably do whatever % cause its not police tint meters can only go over sliding windows.

im right with ya dude, no one use to pull up right next to me at a stop light they would always stay a few feet behind my front windows, now that i have 35% no one has a problem pulling up side to side

i also think its funny that you cant be a cop and have illegal windows, although if you do get the job and become friends with the other officers etc then they wont care if you make them 5% again

True Now everyone pulls up close to see who's driving me and my friend on random days would flip people off that would try to look inside my car when I had 5% since they couldn't see in it would b funny :-X

I got a note that say due to the decreased pigmentation of my eyes (blue), they are very sensitive in sunlight hours. Not sure how much that'l help. I dont have my windshield tinted, but i think that would be awesome. In NJ, your supposed to get a special form from the DMV.

i think i have 35% rear, 20% front. The guy did a horrible job n took 6 visits but @ least it blended well, not 2 dark and flows with the paint.
About the windshield, Arizona's the only state i heard of to allow front tint on acount of it being the devil's taning bed...

The OP is complete fail, he's had 2 tickets now for tint, takes it off and makes the tint darker

NOW he wants to tint the front windshield after getting pulled over. hit a tree at night and do us all a favor. Thanks.

50% isnt ****, from the inside it will be hard to tell its tinted

gtfo, black tint looks 10x better than light **** like 20-35%

and plus my eyes acctually are VERY sensetive to sunlight and even when i had 2 layers of 5% i still wore my sunglasses
