Default CRAZY tint....

Hey guys, recently got my windows tinted. as i have done on my previous cars, the % is 5 on the sides and rear and 15% on the front windshield. i know some may say it is too dangerous to have windows this dark. although it is hard to back up at night i have never had any issues driving or in traffic. i have been involved in a few accidents that were not my fault and the tint on my windows has yet to result in a fine. i do get occasional grief from state troopers but to me its worth it. i dont tell you all your tint is too light so dont tell me mine is too dark. that said... enjoy the pics!!

seriously.... never had an issue seeing out at night. i have been driving with this tint for 5 years. i guess i am used to it.

in that 5 years i have recieved one ticket for $175. the rules or enforcement of the tint laws in AR arent as tough as other states. $ 175 over 5 years makes looking this good as easy decision.

i will try to post a pic from the inside with the doors shut tomorrow. too dark to do so right now. thanks for all the comments guys.
