We need a photo straight-on from the rear before we can advise you.
ok so i know im picky but i found a flaw in my tint that i want to ask everyone if i should just ignore because im being too picky.
its hard to tell, but in the first pic you can see that they cut out the area for the 3rd brake light. well, the right side cut is perfectly aligned with the direction of the 3rd brake light. however the left side the tint comes in about a 1/2 into the brake light area. if that makes sense to anyone.
i noticed this because i have a sticker that was positioned center on the brake light, i noticed the sticker looked like it was not centered, but it was due to the curve of the tint actually coming to the inside area of the light.
should i just ignore this?
A few times, when I would happen to be driving in an urban area, LEOs would roll up along side me and give me a quick look to determine if they could see me. When they did and realized my tint wasn't too dark and it was a middle aged white guy driving they would ignore me.Police sorta kinda prefer being able to see into vehicles. Makes them nervous when they can't.
Horse and buggies did not have the need for window tinting as mentioned before!My government "representatives" decided that car window tint must allow at least 70% of light through in NY State, so having window tint is basically non-beneficial around here.
I'm not sure how we got along fine for over 200 years without all these regulations!
Even with legal tint on all my cars, I advise my kids to ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS ALL AROUND if they ever get stopped. Police have enough stress w/o having to deal with the unknown behind dark windows.
It's hand cut and can't be perfect, unfortunately, but it can become worse if you demand they redo itSticker looks to be to far to left but infact isn't.
Agreed, however, I don't want a cop to see me reaching over into the glovebox for documentation.+1.
Also, both hands on top of the steering wheel on the walk-up is a good move, and if you can already have license and registration ready and are polite and non-argumentative, you greatly increase your chance of a warning only.
