Nice! They do make a difference in the sun!

One of the reasons I was hesitant to get Blackie was because (among other things), the dealer had tinted the front windows darker.

But when it's 110F outside, I am glad to have them!

No tickets so far--but the dealer did promise to pay for any fix-it tickets I might get!

Looks great Chad I'm tempted to get mine done but really don't want to hassle with the locals. Going to visit the eye doctor soon. Maybe, just maybe I can get a letter

Chad, yours look the same as the back ones. 20%? Rob, I had 35% on the Crossfire and got pulled over by a State Boy:

I have 35% on the Focus as well and have never had a problem. Wonder if it was due to the smaller windows on the Crossfire made it look darker?!?

I had 20% on my GTP for 2 years until I was pulled over by a Trooper. I am going to chance it.

I guess it depends on local laws. I found this list for the US on a quick search:
http://www.tintdude.com/laws.html

So far, for me in Ontario, I only see a vague law that states tint cannot substantially obscure view of the interior. Most think that 35% or higher on driver/passenger is acceptable.
A few years ago, I was in a nighttime hit and run accident with a taxi that had (legally I assume) tinted windows. Only the records of the cab company could prove who was driving at the time, as I could only barely see an outline of the driver. Most police forces actively campaign against any front tinting.

Yea i knew going into it i was way over the law which is 50% here in Ohio but i just thought i would chance it, plus its not a fast looking car or a "sports car" so maybe ill be ok for a while, or maybe not . Hey dayton what did you have to do when you got pulled over for them take the tint off? or did you just pay the ticket?
