Wow, that's much darker than the tint I was pulled over for on Sahara & Decatur last year.

Looks nice though.

all my cars i've had had limo tint, never got pulled over, or even mentioned it here in vegas. different story when going out of state. I got like 7 tickets in AZ for it and a few in cali. (AZ doesn't input there fix-it tickets into the system so I just throw the tickets away at the next stop

)

The cop that pulled me over almost made me peel it right on the spot, but I asked him if I could just take the car back to the tinter and have them replace it with "legal" tint (In NV, it's 35% on the front windows and I think 20% on the back windows and hatch window).

just tell them you bought the car that way, and didn't know any different, and when you have the spair money you will get it retinted. Cops are like infants, treat them like it.

I like everything but the windshield, thats too much.

Now drop it and get some black rims.

BrazdonW · 10-28-2008, 09:40 PM

out of personal experience at night in tight spots tint that dark will give you a few dents

i love the look of it though

JosephDoc · 10-28-2008, 09:45 PM

You got balls man!!

That is scary dark for california...

m911gt · 10-29-2008, 12:30 AM

looks good but i'm not digging the windshield, i'm not one for obeying all of the local laws but imo that's just dangerous. i almost hit a deer on my way home from class tonight and i'm betting i wouldn't see as many obstructions if half of my windshield was black.

DFA · 10-29-2008, 12:38 AM

People usually tint every window really dark and the windshield a tad lighter.

May I ask why did you double limo tinted your windshield?

YarisSedan · 10-29-2008, 12:44 AM

As far as i know most states it is illegal to tint the windshield. Everything else is okay.

Minne_Yaris · 10-29-2008, 01:15 AM

I live in vegas, not many hills or anything to go over. and I can see as far down the road as I could without it. Its just harder (not by much as the color stands out in the tint) is the street lights when im stopped at them.

Ryu · 10-29-2008, 02:59 AM

How is your vision on the road with windshield tinted like that?

Looks good though but just be extra careful to drive on low visibility rainning day.
