    well i have 5% looks good, its can be a cop magnet but i know where the cops chill so i go around them. But only thing i hate is seeing at night. That shit sucks. I have been thinking about getting them retinted.

    IMO

    Its rediculous to get 20 all around or 35 in front and 5 in back, or anything illegal and expect to get away with it.

    Cops know whats illegal, and all it takes is a simple slide of the meter to prove it, no matter what window it is. Why do it half a$$ed like that? Do you really believe you are "fooling" them?
    Those that have anything illegal have just been lucky, nothing more. Eventually luck runs out.

    You have two choices:

    1) Get what you want, but be prepared to get fined and have to pay to have it removed.

    2) Get the darkest allowed by law and forget about it.

    cops know its illegal when they pull you over, sometimes, they don't always notice it... i know this from personal experience

    i had a friend with 5% who got pulled over and cop said nothing, it just depends on if you get a nice older cop or a dick cop who just got out of the academy and is trying to prove himself.

    you're right though, its a huge cost if you get caught, ticket plus payment to get rid of it or you face getting your car taken away if you get too many warnings.

    it all depends on how much it is worth to you, the 20 is worth it to me

    I have an S-10 with 5% all the way around, so I know how it is and how it can be.

    What Im trying to say is that its rediculous to put it on and expect all cops to overlook it. There will be one to write you a ticket, its only a matter of time.

    Basically it boils down to your last comment, if you get illegal tint, expect to get fined.

    Oh and LuckySC, why did you neg rep me?

    yea i was agreeing with you.
    it all depends on the cop really so you're taking a risk


    and i don't remember neg repping you at all, i actually had an incident where someone neg repped me back recently and i had never seent them.

    my family from Ireland just left and had been here for 2 weeks i think my cousin got on here and did it bc shes a bitch, it auto logs me into this site and ur not the first person to tell me this.

    i tried talking to b18hatch, but he said mods can't do anything, who is an admin i can talk to, to try and cancel out a neg rep?????

    sorry for the confusion man

    ^+1 Well said. I chose to roll with 15% premium. I've been pulled over once and caught so much hell with a Walton Co. over it. Cost me $150 and being harrassed for my ride height and my tag being dirty. It sucks, but I accept it seeing as how I was dumb enough to roll through knowing the law. Pulled over once in two years though. I guess it's not that bad.

    yea u are fooling them cause I do all the Woodstock cop cars and all the cops say that "that is a great idea with the 35% up front and darker in the back", the cops even told me they don't bother people with 20% all the way around unless your just a dumb ass and u piss them off....

    Exactly my point, that was that one cops preference, and eventually you'll run into an asshole cop or one just looking for a reason to stop you.

    Look at it this way, Its a lot like an open container. All cops know its illegal, and most will use it as a reason to search or check you out, but many will let you slide. But eventually one of those cops will write you for it.
