Damn that sucks man. Isn't 32% kinda high. Go to a doctor and tell them you have sensitive eyes so thats why you need the tint. My buddy did that for his and got out of the ticket(in IL). I can't remember what % he had though.

if you keep the limo tint, just make sure you roll down the windows if you see the "po-po"

30% here in Alaska and the cops love nailing you for it. They have this nifty gauge that reads the % of tint and they just love using that toy. 30% is alright by me though, don't care for it much darker, but then again I'm not in Arizona, etc.

At least you guys can have tint on your windows. In IL, there cannot be ANY tint on the front side windows - AT ALL. Just the rear and rear sides (any tint % there).
