You are a safety risk at night with that much tint. It's like driving around with Oakley Black Iridium Polarized lenses at night.

No, I am not. I've been doing it since I was 16. 5% on every car.

The front window has no tint on it.

Ha i got 5% on my TP too. It looks awesome. A tip: when EVER I see a cop the first thing I do is lower my 2 front windows for a minute. Its hard to do in the rain but most cops don't want to get wet so I don't think they will bother pulling me over for a dark tint.

But your side visibility is compromised at night. Any tint on front windows is a bad thing at night.

visibility is compromised during nighttime, but most states don't have laws against the rear windows being tinted. it looks good though!

Some night shots.

I don't know why the DRL's show up so blue, that's not what it looks like in real life.

we shall see. I think I drive normal enough that if anything it'll be an additional charge on a ticket if I get pulled over. We have more serious crimes around here that need attending to.

The law is 35% in NC, but I had 20% that I put on a Jeep and drove for a couple years with no problems. I really gotta think it depends on the type of car you are driving with the dark tint (even though they claim that they don't "profile"). Run an IS350 and an 84 Nissan Sentra past the same Trooper and see which gets pulled for the "tint violation". Ha! Looks great, btw. I have got to get mine done. I know a place that does immaculate work but it is very hard to get appointments with them.

it's the white balance on your camera that makes it look really blue.
