Limo Tint and fresh out of storage

I finally got around to driving my GTA again, and went out and had a touchup paint job done on the bumper, washed it, waxed it, and tinted the windows to 95% of light blocked... here's a couple of pics to show her off.

Visibility problems? Only in my yard....
It actually helps me at night because I have sensitive eyes (i work third shift), and it blocks out those damn headlights a good deal. Especially on SUV's. The only bad thing is I now have problems identifying cars by their headlights (making spotting cops a tad bit harder)

It cost me $180 at a local shop that used a one piece rear, and included a lifetime warranty. It isn't legal in this state, but I've had limo tint on previous autos and never had legal problems. Also, we dont' have inspections out here, so there's no need to worry about failing that. And thanks for the compliments, guys!

it all depends on where you live i know down here in the small town of sterling its 4% at least thats what the cop said it may be higher. its been over a year since that happened to me.
but i had the same tint on my pickup as i do on my camaro and not one cop said anything about nor did i ever get pulled over for it. but man i get stopped all the time in the camaro huh i wonder why that is????????????

around here (cleveland, oh) there's no limit on rear windows but there is one on the sides, not sure what it is though. a cop can pull you over if he/she thinks it's too dark and they all carry testers around that you put over the glass. if you fail you either have to pay a big fine or take off the tint and come back to the fuzz station to have them check it.

In missouri it doesnt matter about the rear window's. but the drivers and passengers can not be darker then 35%...

We bought this 97 chevy from a guy in iowa i guess the laws are different up there.... he had alll but the windsheild tinted to 5%

so to get it past the inspection my dad rolled the front windows down and pulled the fuse.... passed with flying colors!!!

Woah, another Madison guy? What part of town do you live in? I live right downtown, so Wash is about two streets behind my house... if you ever want to come downtown and go do some street racing, shoot me an email.
