Has anyone anywhere EVER had a legal issue with 20% tint on front windows?

All depends on your state.

Ive got 5% on sides and rear. In the 2 years Ive owned the car, Ive been pulled once (was on my way to a job interview , so he let me go w/ a warning). Getting it inspected...well, thats a different story lol.

Cool. Haha, When I got my 5.0 inspected (heavily modded) the guy asked "didn't these come fuel injected?" reply "Some of them..." answer..."oh...okay...*wink*"

in IL we aren't supposed to have ANY tint on the front windows. That said, I have 35%, and have had it for 2 months, gotten 1 written warning already.

I live in NJ. No tint is allowed on front windows. I went with 35%. I have had it since July 2005 with no problems at all. A buddy of mine has 20% on his truck and he hasnt had problem since he got it about 4 months ago. It just depands on whether or not the cops around you are real dicks or not. Here in Absecon, the cops dont give a **** about anyhting. haha
