If he gets me again and realizes I bought a new car AND did 5% again he may not be so nice next time! I know his patrol area and can avoid it for the most part. Also if you get a tint ticket in FL you don't have to remove the tint, you just pay the ticket and hope to not get nailed again.

I have had 5% or less on my TA and on the V and only once got a ticket. Some poe-dunk little town in Iowa state trooper turned his lights on as i pulled in to park.. measured the tint on the Caddy and it registered 2.5%, legal in Iowa is 70% on front from what he told me. $85 ticket even though I had TX plates he knew it wasnt legal anywhere LOL
