Dad's an Eye Doctor! 5% tints!

My dad is not an eye doctor. but he has many different eye doctors that work for him. so it will not be hard for me to get a prescription and "diagnosed" with having sensitive eyes...

now. i will have 5% tints, and 35% windshield w.o getting ticketed! whooo!



sound like a good plan?

I have never had a perscription...but have had 5% all around on a few of my cars...it's pretty stupid actually, at night you can't see SH*T out of your windows. Easy to hit pedestrians. Otherwise it looks great. I'm rocking 10% all around. Just a tad lighter. Still to dark....will go 20% when I get ticketed

Prescription* That being said, if you can rock 5% "legally" I would take advantage lol

It's still gonna be a hassle getting pulled over all the time even if you're not getting ticketed

Can I get in on that?

And btw, unless you live in a very well lit area, tinting the windshield isn't the best idea. A buddy of mine did it and lives in a more wooded area and took it off within a week because he couldn't see anything at night lol

Only time I would tint the windshield was if I did like 35% all around and wanted 45% on the windshield. But all these guys got great advice!

Alright. I'll do 5s all the way around. And 50 on the windshield.

Also. There is a way you can tiny your windows and still see outside. But that requires dying the glass. Lol
Will still be hard to look out. But not as bad as tints

I guess it would be a good idea if you want to drive at night like Stevie Wonder
