Depending on vehicle, tint percentage, and the "color" of the driver, you'll get easily pulled over just for "tint" on the glass. I'm just hoping that most cops will just think I'm driving a limo or the "disney" stickers will tip them off that I'm not a gangsta from the hood...

Also, I answered your follow up question about the pillar being covered on the other thread too.

Sometimes, I really do wonder if our laws are really to protect us, or it's just to try to get those 0.1% of criminals in our society that even with these laws they could not catch or govern anyway. NO black tint because it abstructs the police officers when they pull someone over. For the driver that IS going to be dealing in illegal activity, he/she is going to tint the window ANYWAY, so why have a law for that .1% when the other 99.9% that will use it legitely suffer?
Ah, who am I to think this much... I'm only living here...

a friend that does safety inspections told me a 4 door car is 35 all around and none on the windshield. i think i will tint the windshield the lightest film they got just for dash protection.
agree with you there. those with priors should have to roll around with no tint, haha.

Maybe I am wrong, But what do you think when you pull up to a 4 way stop, and can't see if the guy coming at you or cross traffic is going to stop. I often watch the other drivers face to see if they are looking my direction, or talking on a cell phone. I remember one time when seeing a "Lady" putting her make-up on blow the stop sign. Had I not seen her. and sit still, she would have broadsided me.
Part of being a good driver is watching the other driver, not just the hunk of metal he is driving. Walking in New York, would hate to cross the street and not be able to see if the driver coming at me is alert or not.
The 50% fronts look good with the backs a bit darker. Can't see driving a car that is so blind can't see out of it in the dark.

Same with crossing a crosswalk, I don't leave the sidewalk until all cars have come to a stop. It really doesn't matter if you can see the person or not... the obvious ones you'll see, but it's the bad assumption ones that will get you run over.

I agree with you, I don't understand how you would tint the windshield say 35% or more, unless you never drive at night.

Heck, I can't even wear glasses with those nifty self darkening Transitions lenses because they don't lighten up enough so I can see to drive at night.

People's night vision usually but not always degrades significantly as they age. 35% tint might work fine at night for some people but make it impossible for others to see to drive at night.

I am surprised at the number of compliments directed my way since buying this LS a few months back. Wife just laughs.

For me, I got tint because I like love the semi-analine leather so much that I like to drive "natural" and get the FULL FEEL of the leather...![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
OH MY !!!
But for real, the tint was for my kids in the back. Didn't want those sucion cup things for the rear windows and the sunshade only works somewhat.

so i had 2% on my last gs400, and i have 14% on my current ls. where i live at there are some really nice places but sometimes you have to drive thorough some really not so nice places to get there. often times at night when driving though a not so nice place you will have to stop at a stop sign or traffic light, or wait for some kids to get the hell out of the freakin road, and often times there are people hanging out on the corners that will stare at you when you stop... i prefer not to have them see that i would be a easy car jacking target, especially when driving a somewhat flashy car... if they can't see me, then this decreases my chances of getting jacked!!! plus i like to stare at hot chicks out the window and i don't want them to see me stare...
