It was justs on the local news on Friday how Darko (from the Pistons) was pulled over for window tinting and they found two other outstanding tickets.
I've had cars with "illegal" tinting in MI. Even had a doctors note for it, to get out of tickets. They will still write you up and make you go to court Plus it gives the cops a reason to pull you over. I think it looks awesome but I don't want to give the boys in blue any reasons. Depending how they write the ticket it can be a moving violation which means points on your driving record. Ann Arbor is one of the worst towns to fight a ticket it in MI.

15% would look pretty good.
