[BRAVO29ER]

I'm jealous...I want to do this...but don't want to get pulled over. Cops just love to pull people over for tints. had to remove my front tint...only cost $20 for the fix it ticket.

No stickers of any kind are on my windshield, we don't have inspections in WI (I think Milwaukee might have something with emission standards or just special gas down there)

Wow, never heard of that before. Surprised that there's state(s) that don't do inspections.

They can also impound your vehicle.

I do think 20% is too dark for a windshield though... for both visibility and the risk of getting unwanted attention.

Either way it looks good and who cares, it's your car

Should you ever have an accident.... more fuel on the fire.

Tell that to the child he doesn't see, or the car he swipes... it's not him alone that will have to pay.

We stopped having inspections over 20 years ago. We used to have emissions stickers on the windshield, but now we just have a certificate that stays in the glove box. Nothing on the windshield now.

In Alabama, it is required for you to have windscreen wipers on your vehicle, but you are not required to have a windscreen.

possible old thread but I swear to god in 2007 my ford fusion had 5's all the way around and a 20 on the windshield never got pulled over for it drove it 2 years.

this is the first i hear of a person going 20% like i did back in the day

and this was in Florida.

I was down your way and an Anne Arundle cop pulled a u-turn thru the grass median on 97 to pull me over (no tint at all) but he noticed the no front plate and just couldn't resist. I give you about a week before the tint draws the unwanted attention of the cops.
