I have had them for 5 months and have yet to get pulled over for them. (Knock on Wood). I live in the burbs as well. And I have been pulled over for other things and not gotten hassled for them. Don't draw attention to yourself, and you should be okay for the most part.

This one place call Midco on 86 and Cicero. My friends had their cars tinted here and I'm really please with the results, absolutely no bubbles or any particles sticking in between the tint. I just booked appointment for this Thursday at 1 p.m. and hopefully i'll come up with good pictures.

Could've saved yourself $35 if you went to Aliti's guy. But glad you are satisfied though. In the end that's all that matters.

you can tint the rear, but the fronts are illegal. i have 20% all around got pulled over twice, but just warning thank god. if you are worried about getting pulled over either dont get them done or get 40% or higher.
