There is a HUGE difference in the modern OEM (KEY word) tinting and what the
'tuners' use, Rick!!!  And I mean HUGE<G>!!

Several years ago the Uniform Traffic Code Act adopted "standards" for
the opacity(sp?) for side & rear window tinting for NEW vehicles.  It is a
'numbering' system which manufacturers adhere to.  With ONE glance an
Officer CAN tell the difference between what you are tooling around in vs a
tuner's
(damn near solid black) tint!!

It IS an Officer Safety thing.

When an Officer approaches YOUR car he CAN see that your hands are either
empty or holding your D.L.!!  With a tuner car he CANNOT see whether the
driver's hands are empty, holding said license or an Uzi!!!

Case rested<G>!!

As an example, the morning after I got my 'new' Camino back for the Land of
Fruit & Nuts I went DIRECTLY to my local 'cop shop' for an opinion (even tho
I was almost positive that stuff on driver's door & passenger door WAS
ILLEGAL) and YEP, Officer confirmed.  It was gone the following day.
