I know how you feel! I have 5% on my diesel and I have had it on there since 2006. I have only been pulled over 3 times since 2006 for it. Two of the times was because I was in an area where there are not many, if any, lifed 4x4s. They just used to the tint as probabable cause to see what i was up to. I was out there for school. No big deal. The 3rd time was a cop that was coming at me in my home town and turned around to get me for it. He must have seen the drive in the driveway many times and finally saw me on the move. Those tickets are more expensive than speeding tickets. Go figure. 99% of cops dont seem to mind the tint. But there are a few that like the easy targets when they are having a bad day.I was on my way to look at an 89 2wd today, but I got nailed for having 20% window tint on my side windows. So the money I got for my car is going toward a fine. The cop told me I need to lighten up the windows or he will get me again for tint and bumper height. I passed him on the freeway doing the speed limit and he pulled out and got me for tint out of all things. I have had my my fair share of speeding tickets, and Ill admit I deserved them, but I call bullshit.lol
I once got a warning in a yuppy town for being too muddy. "It was a distaction to other drivers" he said. I said, "What about the 24" spinner wheels and the 150dB Harleys?". Those distract me. So do any Rangers tires larger than 33" tall haha.
