Looks good. What is a PBA? I know some of my friends have something from the doctor for their skin/eye conditions and that does it. I'm more concerned about the safety though. If you're used to it, that's different. I had my back side shades up the other night and when making a U Turn under the freeway, I could not see clearly at all. My wife had to tell me "you're good to go!" while an old 3 cut me right by my left side. He was probably cursing.

PBA (police benevolent association) courtesy cards can help you get out of a ticket or knock the offense down to a lesser ticket but they’re not as effective as they were years ago.The Silver PBA card and the Gold family members PBA cards work much better.
Cameras in police cars now record when cops give you a break.So depending on the offense,a cop might be less likely to look the other way.
There's other courtesy cards too.FOP (fraternal order of police) cards.

You can buy PBA cards on Ebay and I'm sure cops know it.

I know a guy that works at a local auto parts store that was pulled over and ticketed 3 different times for overly tinted windows, here in Illinois.

The fourth time that he was pulled over, the cop forced him to literally peel off each tint on every one of his windows.

Mine are only 35%...the legal limt here. Except, I went with 80% for the sunroof.

In ny they only have PBA. Other states have it different, the cards are signed by the officer in the back with his phone #, as your name on it. If its not signed its useless, due to people buying it online.

Looks good on SFP but what do you do with inspection stickers on the windshield when you have to scrape them for renewals?

On my 2004 Solara, I had double layer 20% on sides and back and 1 layer 20% on windshield. I got pulled over twice. The first time I stripped the windshield, but by doing that, it let so much light in, it was impossible to see out of the back and sides. I got it re-tinted....got pulled over again. At that point, I just stripped it all and haven't had tint since.

Looks good. Be safe.

I don't glue them on. I use scotch tape, for easy removal.
