do you ever get any unwated attention from the police for the tint? im contemplating if i should do 35 all the way round...

[shnizep]

Yes, I've had "looks" from cops and the CHP, although never pulled over.

I have heard of instances where if you are driving in the car pool lane, CHP may pull you over if your front windows are tinted. Even if you have 2+ passengers.

Another tip is to roll the front windows down when cruisin through the city and roll them up when you're on the highway, which will suck if you just washed your car http://www.clubb5.com/images_forum/mad.gif.

I wouldn't go too dark in the front though just to be safe, but that's just me.
Hope this helps in your descision! http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthup.gif
