i have a black on black and i live in Vegas, i thought about getting mine done but then my car would look like "Kit" from the old Knight Rider rofl. If you are going to get something get something light.

i actually had a legit excuse. i just happened to get it long after i had my windows tinted. i had one too many sunburns when i was a kid. a mole turned out to be skin cancer last year. not a big deal. they caught it early. but when i got my ticket, i read up on tint laws. and every state has a medical exemption. i figured if skin cancer doesn't qualify, nothing would. turns out it did.

short of laying in the sun all day in hopes of growing a tumor, you could try claiming sensitivity to light. i've read that some people have received medical waivers for this. tell your doctor that the sun is giving you headaches when you drive. but that would be easily solved with sunglasses. so he might call bs.

i got the note after the fact. but to tell the truth, i don't drop the top much in intense light anymore. i pretty much stick to early morning, dusk and night. unless i'm wearing sunscreen. it is kinda nice to have a get out of jail free card. if only i could figure one out for speeding.
