    HAHAA TRUUEEE! I guess it really matter what town you live in! When i was living in northern CA i got a ticket for (i'm not kidding) 1 mile over the speed limit! Down here in San Diego, cops flash their lights at me to move over when i'm doin 80 on the freeway... so they can pass!

    All matters where you call home i suppose!

    I talked to my buddy who is a cop and he said it's more noticeable to them when they see a really dark 6"-8" drop on their windshield compared to a whole tinted windshield due to the contrast.

    In the outside pic the fronts look lighter(because of the light coming in through the windshield)

    I have 15% on the driver and pass side doors, 35% (over the factory tint...35% and the 20% factory looks just like the 15% in the front) on the backseat drivers, pass doors, and the back windows.

    So it looks like 15% all the way around...nothing on the front...going back to get 50% on the front.
