Default Missouri tints ?

I've been thinking of getting blackouts for my quicksilver '03, but don't want to waste the money just to find out I have to remove them. Any other Missouri owners have any input?
BTW I'm talking about tail and marker light overlays not window tint.

I was thinking about it too, but in St. Louis and the suburbs you will get pulled over and ticketed.

my dad and older brother are both missouri state highway patrol, i resently did a ride along with my brother and in one day he pull 2 people over for tint. the legal limit in missouri is 35% + or - 3 so 32%, thats on the front to windows, the back windows can be as dark as u like, most officers will give a little but if i were u i wouldnt take the chance.(my brother did not ticket either of them he just want me to see what it was like to pull some people over) either way good luck

Here's what you can do - call you local Highway Patrol Troop office and ask them - they will be more than happy to discuss issues like this. I called them when I wanted to install euro taillights and they answered my question right away.

Here's the info for Troop D which covers your area:
