Just myself. You know how it is with our cars. Women gasp. Young boys can't take their eyes off. Guys either look at you with jealousy or admiration. Sometimes you just want to go to work without being the center of attention.

Yes it will, it gives us a reason to pull you over.
in NYC a Police Officer was killed this year doing a car stop and the car had an illegal tint, and the officer couldnt see inside. What he didnt notice was the perp loading his gun, and getting ready to shoot. Now whenever we see a car with a dark tint, we make sure to tag them. We try to prevent illegal tints from roaming around NYC.

I have had limo tint on like five cars including a 01GT and a 88GT with no problembut I live in arizona. I have had cops right next to me all the time,and had no problem. The ticket in AZ for Limo(5%) on front windows is a fix it ticket which would be $150.00. Limo tint make cars look so much better, Especially a red color like your it brings the color out with Black windows against Red.

Tint does provide much more privacy as well as security.

Yep, cops dont like tint because they cant see inside. Ive never been a fan of making cops nervous, so Ive never tinted the windows in any of my cars.

Depends how dark it is. i've gotten away with 30 front and 20 back for 6 years. if you go 5% on back and 30% on front it makes the 30% look darker. lots of friends so 20% all around and dont have problems. depends on your area

legal in Utah is 50% front, doesnt matter on back
