Most places will NOT just give you one. I tried 3 times, once a year, at 3 different Dr's.

My Dad went and actually got one though. Good luck finding a Dr. that will. Not to mention that it's around $100 just to have an eye exam.

I want to know why you need your tint that dark honestly?

I have 35% on my front 2 side windows.
Then 15% on my rear 3 and its pretty damn dark.

Looks.

I took my 5% all the way around off. Even with my Dads script I would get pulled over on a weekly basis.

They usually let me go but every now and then a cop would still give me a ticket.

I'm going 35% all the way around when I get every other mod done.

you need to be allergic to ultra violent rays pretty much. my buddy has a perscription that says his eyes are light sensitive and when get got pulled over the cop told him that "doctors dont make the laws"

this was all before the tint laws passed in illinois though

If your around East Lansing, I would check out Eyes 4 You right on M.A.C.

When I lived there I got some contacts once there just because I ran out. They seem very "chill" and would maybe do it. haha.

Kind of like a mom and pops shop opposed to someone like Bennett Optometry.

Haha. Yea your the "other" complex that is not Cedar Village.

I head up there every now and then. I think I've seen your car sever times. I used to live in Gas Light Village, had an Atp right on Grand Riv above Ned's, and lived on Gunson for a bit.

Legal limit in NH sucks. 35% back windows only. Nothing on the front sides.

Such BS that IL, MI, NH, NJ, and VT are the only states that don't allow your front windows to be tinted.
