    Defining what is "being stupid" is too ambiguous. Why give a LEO an easy and legal excuse to pull you over.
    This situation will always arise at the most inopportune time for you.

    Also, if you go illegal, keep in mind that the darker the color of the interior, the darker the tint looks. If you have a black interior, the tint is going to look darker than it is.

    In the context of tinting a car, your window is tinted, with tint. It is not tinted with tints. That is the wrong use.

    There are multiple TINTS. Plural. If a car has 2 different colors of tint, then there are two tints, not two tint.

    careful on windshield....you wi;; have issues with seeing at night if too dark.....even with new HID conversion, there will be a difference and you will want brighter lights thing you can’t see well, but it is the tint

    Also, you are talking about one window. If the statement went "In the context of tinting a car, your windows are tinted, with tints" would be appropriate.
