I’m not at all bothered by the existence and use of aftermarket tint…if it were up to me, I’d say “go nuts” and “black it out” — whatever works for you.

What drives me CRAZY are these (according to my sources and experiences) tidbits:

  1. If the vehicle has factory windshield tint beyond 70%, it’s acceptable. I can’t say, for sure, what cars come with darker tint from the factory.

  2. It’s against the law to apply aftermarket tint your windshield and front seat windows beyond 70%. WHY? WHY? WHY?

  3. Custom car mod entities tell you it’s illegal to go beyond 70% on the windshield and front seat windows, but they’ll do it anyway. WHAT? How do they get away with it? I understand this may cross/intersect privacy concerns (I.e, medical reasons), but am I naive to believe that if one was required to show “medical need”, would one go postal against it? I mean, you have to show proof of other things, so why not this?

  4. According to my source(s), vehicle inspection includes testing tint and other visual blockages on the windows and yet modified vehicles still pass. HUH?

In the end, this “law” seems so freakin trivial…I can’t wrap my head around it and it’s laughable that police can’t be bothered by such ridiculousness.
