The previous owners of our house had the family room windows tinted, and I want to remove it. Have you tried to take yours off Sweettea?

dark tint is legal for all except front windshield, driver and passenger sides for SUV's. lighter tint for all except front windshield is legal. each state has a specific percentage (20-25% is usually normal legal limit).

those with limo tint on driver and passenger side is an accident waiting to happen.

Limo tint on the driver and passenger side is somewhat hard at first to drive with, but you get used to it. However if your driving on a country road at night with no street lights then you might have a problem. In the city or the burbs on a street with at least some lighting you should be fine. And I have 5% on all my windows and I have 20% on my front windsheild. Yes I know its illegal but I will gladly pay the $65-125 fine if I get a ticket, tint on the front windsheild makes your car look soooo gooooood! When I drive down the street the only thing you can see are my hands on the steering wheel, and thats the way I want it. Lots of people dont know this but window tint cuts down on people breaking in your car and it also cuts down your chances of getting car jacked. A thief or a jacker is going to think twice about a car that he cant see inside to see who or what is in it.

Ok, maybe Billy was wrong (thats what I called him) But if you cant find him he has a picture of himself on his ad, just look for the middle aged white guy. I'll look and see if I still have his number though.

Exacctllyy! You can tell some folks aren't too street smart lol. I don't feel like its the law's place to tell me how dark my tint can be. And if You use mirror tint they harass you even more.

Just like its not their place to make me wear my seatbelt. If I want to get thrown out thats my choice. People worry too much about following the law regardless of how ridiculous it may be.

Im the type to tell them NO They can't search my car when I get pulled over even though there's nothing illegal in it. Then They get happy and call the drug dog thinking they have a bust Then get pissed when the dog doesn't tip off drugs so They still can't do anything but let me go lol

One time i told them yes because it was like 20 degrees out side And when They saw my gun They took my clip out And unloaded all of the bullets in the front seat, put my gun in the dash Then threw my clip in the trunk and told me to load it whenever I got where I was goin. The one time I was actually being nice too.
