Anyone know a company that custom makes glass with tint built in? Id pay for them to tint the inside of the glass the color I want, than whenever I get pulled over all window tint laws would mean nothing since its not "anything affixed to the window that doesn't let in more than 70% light in". CVC loophole =)

You'd still get a ticket and be forced to replace the windows!! The law isn't a law against tint FILM...it's against having your windows tinted at all! :shrug:

Tellin ya...doctor's permission is the only way around it.

In Cali the cops laugh in your face if you claim eye issues. 100% not recognized, I've tried and my optometrist is like I would if possible but in CA its not even valid. But man do my eyes get strained when sun just beats on em on the freeway

I say just grin abd bear it and leave the tint off then. You're just asking for trouble with a cop that obviously has it out for you...

Honestly you know you have illegal tint and your upset about getting a ticket for it? Not to be a dick but you know its to dark and this is what you get for doing that. Just man up and get lighter tint or play hardball with this officer and you will probably lose.


I've gotten plenty of tint tickets and just deal with it. I know its too dark and I run the chance of getting popped for it. I know it sucks but its part of the game.

You're never going to win. That's why if you're in a state that does inspections, they will fail you because your tint. No way around it. And their will always be one dick to pull you over for it.

Here is IL they passed a law to be able to tint your front windows as long as your rear windows are not tinted totally dark. If you limo tint the back windows you aren't allowed to tint the front ones at all. Thats the route I'm taking. I don't want me or my wife to be pulled over for something like tint at the wrong time, like after having a few drinks and get a DUI.

Here in Chicago, I know many people that have tinted windows and have had no issues with cops. There are power hungry dicks though. For example: suburban cops. They have nothing better to do than to pull you over for pointless violations(ie tint) but you can't do anything legally because technically that cop is completely right. It's just the way the system works, we get used to being able to slide by here and there and then one day your luck runs out. Happened to me many times.

A few years back they passed a law in Mo that the windows on the front doors could be as dark as 35% but not tint on the windshield but the rest of the windows could be as dark as you want. Some go darker than 35 but I'm sure they get nabbed from time to time. That's just the price you pay :shrug:

So this new police officer by me thinks he's a hero (Not knocking the profession as I have buddies in it, however this guys just a straight power tripped dick). I had front window tint all my life and have never gotten in trouble but lately this guy has pulled me over any and every time he sees me, mind you dangerous u-turns in traffic, etc and never given me anything but a fix-it ticket from anything from tint-replacing stock license plate bulb ticket. Basically I wanna know how hard it is to install new front window glass. I want to get a new set of glass, tint those to match my backs and be able to run them and if I get in trouble just put the stock clear ones on. I really dont break laws, and have no points on my license I just love tint, it keeps my car cool, I feel safer, and I love the look so I would apreciate it to keep the "thats what you get comments to yourself" Thanks guys! :Handshake:

Get a note from any eyecare doctor saying you need the tint to protect your eyes due to sensitivity of light from the sun :) buddy had in h.s police hated him but couldn't ticket him lolol
