On the other hand though, it's can be used as an easy excuse to pull you over and hit you up with a different ticket.

Well, here we go... I live in Oklahoma, but work in the DFW area, N. Texas. I haven't done my windows on the HHR yet, but plan on doing them the same as my Silverado; light tint over the factory in the back which equates pretty much to limo, then match the front windows to match the back. Luckily for me, I have a Private Investigator's license and the judges thus far have been kind and thrown out the couple of tint tickets I received. I heard that I can go to the DPS and they will put something on my DL that identifies my occupation so it doesn't have to go before a judge. The cop will pull it up when he pulls me over. That would save a little hassle....
There are quite a few folks from Oklahoma that commute into Texas and the State Troopers as well as local law enforcement don't seem to both us with OK plates anymore than the folks with TX plates. It pretty much depends on how fast your going that will get you pulled over....

I just tinted the front 2 doors to match the factory tints, and I added tint, slightly lighter, on the front window, and pray I don't get stopped, but I like the look of a complete blacked out windows all the way around. I do not know the laws here regarding tints, but I do know that it is completely illegal on the front window. I post pix later today or tomorrow when I take them.
I couldn't find it in time.

I've noticed that here too Navy, in all three of the towns I drive through going to work each day, Bokchito, Durant and Calera, all the cops have dark dark tinted windows. I was told that Oklahoma had tint laws, but I don't remember what the percentage was. I have limo on my Silverado and I've been in and out of the state for about 7 years with dark tint on all my vehicles and the Oklahoma cops haven't bothered me. Texas on the other hand got me a couple times before I officially moved up here. Luckily the judges threw them out for me. I haven't done the HHR yet, but I'm planning on limo all the way...
