Damn those look nice. Do you think it would make it more likely for me to get pulled over? I really dont feel like pulling off my front tints. Also, did one strip of tint cover it? the window looks a little too tall for one strip of tint but ive never put it up to the window to see.

Hey their yteka99,

I thank you very much! As far as the size, I actually bought my paper from a professional Tint Shop who had commercial sized roll of it on a large spool, and then I had him laser cut it on a machine so I had perfect straight edges cut to my exact measurements for my windows which made life way easier to cover each window from top to bottom without any issues.

Unfortunately I am not sure what the laws are in your area so I can't advise on potentially getting pulled over. As for the back windows all the way up to the front doors, you should be able to go as dark as you want with no problem. The front doors at least out here are illegal unless they came from the Factory smoked which is embedded into the glass rather than a tint which is removable, or if like me, you have a prescription from an Ophthalmologist to use a darker tint on the front side glass. The windshield is almost certain to be illegal except under a prescription except a sun strip like I have. Otherwise, if you are caught with the front sides around here tinted in So Cal, then it would be at most a warning, or $10 "Fix it" Ticket in which you would remove the tint, go by the Police Station have them inspect it, sign off on the ticket, and you pay a $10 fine.

My best recommendation would be to maybe contact your local Law Enforcement Office if you have any concerns about any type of penalty just to make sure, and if it is similar to what we have here, personally, I myself would just leave it on unless someone told me otherwise, especially if it were very light anyhow, but that is me. If they are as dark as mine, its kind of borderline unless you have a prescription in which you have to carry paperwork to prove so with you at all times in case you are ever pulled over for it, and anything darker than mine, and if the front sides are illegal at all, then you are pretty much rolling the dice on getting caught. I do know many States do not have any restrictions, but it varies from State to State, so like I say, I would check with your State to see what your State Laws are just to be on the safe side, and go from their.

Anyways, that is my two cents for what it is worth. You go easy, and I will catch you later.
