Holy crap RPX5!! Thats the kinda stuff that gives cops a bad name Cause that is a little over the top, but I guess he got what he wanted. Got a tint ticket in Denver years back on my S/C Frontier and it was only $42.

It was overkill for sure.. but he was the guy working overnights on saturday, and in no way did i want to put a chip on his shoulder, imagine coming home late with a nice girl after date or something, and there's angry cop waiting at the end of a 1.5 mile causeway (only one way in or out of my town)?? that could get embarrassing.

Eh, i kept face, did what he asked.. if it was different town, maybe a larger town, or a state cop, i would have probably took it to court for a little conversation with the legal system.

it was all a bunch of bull.. imo.. but like i said before.. i'd rather be on this guys good side.. and to be honest, there havnt been any problems since then.

I bought it this way, but if I had to guess I would say it is 35% all around over the factory privacy glass in the rear. It is perfect for me. On my S4 I went 35% rear and 50% front, which is also quite good on a dark car w/ dark interior.

Here is a pic of mine, same colour as the original poster's car, so might help him out. Tints were on it when I got it, the fronts are not as dark as the rest, and no tint on the windscreen (New Zealand Law)
