My driver's side got caught on the weatherstrip at the bottom and I have to go back to Caesar for a re-do... but he's a great man to use for tinting.

I live in the near-North side and the cops around here LOVE to ticket for window tints and especially missing front plates. I don't think they'll ever get rid of front plates, since the photo-tickets are such a great source on income for the city.

But they always take a picture of the rear plate right

^ good question?? seems to be bouncing all over the place. just pass it already!!!!!

35% all around is pretty weak is the only down fall but I will take it over nothing to avoid the tickets and harassment as of late.

I cannot wait for this to be amended by Illinois State Congress. I will get all windows tinted the next day the bill passes. Then I will have a subsequent barbeque in my garage to party it up.

^ you need window tint for your bike

Mr 71 miles in one day!!!!

I doubt it. Caesar is definitely the hookup, but we cant all go at once.

Any updates on whats going on in the legal world on this?

The Senate just passed this legislation. It's going back to the House because the Senate added an ammendment. If the House votes to pass with the new ammendment, then it goes to Quinn's office.

Deletes an exemption to certain window obstruction provisions for motor vehicles manufactured prior to January 1, 1982.
