However, I did not tint the windshield, only a sunstrip on the top. Now that's asking to be pulled over. I think 50% on the windshield is good since I've driven in one that has it and you can't tell the difference.
How do you get away with 5% tints when in NJ your not allowed to have tints on the front windows or do you just live with a few tint tickets?

I got a tint ticket in VA once with my last car for 15% tints in the front when the legal limit was 30%. I never removed it.

Talking about tint, do any of you guys have scratches on the top 1" of your front windows? Mine are all scratched to hell, I think because I have the double pane glass in the front making it tight when windows are rolled up and scratching the tint. The rears are fine.
I have double pane windows in the front with tints. No scratches on the tint, been 1.5 years now.

Tint tickets do happen. But then again, every other cop car in NJ has tints, why can't I?

I get 28 combined and 35 on the highway. Best I've ever averaged on the highway for a trip was 37. I cared about mpg so I went with the 450h. I also drive in eco all the time, I find it more than sufficient for regular use.
