I ask the place that does car stereos (and tinting) and they act like it's perfectly fine... and wanted $350 for the silver fade "reflective" tint. I see plenty of beemers with it - and I hardly think they've been stopped... still deciding if I should risk it.

you should. I got 35% on front, and 20% on rear which is blinding. I've been pulled 5-6 times due to various moving violations (but no ticket!), and none of the cops mentioned anything about the tint.

What you should be worried about is passing the inspection if your state requires so. (mine is annual)

Sweet.. got pics with the tint? I saw pics when u first bought it. I want the silver since my truck is gray.

And I'm thinking asking the inspection garage around the block from me would be a good place to start. Just had inspection there 2 weeks ago (heh, was expired for months before then).
