Generally I don't care but when you have this license plate I'd like to see if it was a good month.... The rabbit on the back window surprised me, don't see those much anymore, then I caught the plate....

May have been a blessing as the driver could be from the woke times at PB.....
 
I don't mind tint so much. But the blinding headlights are painful. And why are people driving with a blinding light bar in the center of the grill? Is this a factory light bar? Or a add on? And is it even legal? I HATE them!
 
Dark window tint = Hiding !
 
I had the front doors on both my ram 2500 and my Grand Cherokee, done to match the factory "deep tint" rear windows. Makes a huge difference in glare, especially when you have contact lenses, even at night. Cuts down on the "starburst" effect, a LOT.
 
I recently took my 2010 Challenger R/T for state inspection, and the garage owner said, it doesn't have window tint does it? I said no,he ran his finger nail around the inside outer edge of the window to check for an edge of the tint material. I said again it doesn't have any tint. He said okay I always check every car,and if it has non factory window tint,the vehicle isn't getting inspected here.

here in FL, doing a UV ceramic clear tint on the front windshield makes a HUGE difference in interior heat on sunny days.
 
I've seen the same Cyber truck around here periodically and the tint is so dark you can't see who's inside. I did catch it coming towards me one day and I could see the driver through the windshield. Darken the windows and brighten the headlights!

Just the thugs and dealers have tint around here. The Po Po stop them for their tint and discover illegal drugs and firearms. Book em' Danno!

:rofl: :rofl:

Not so much in the desert SW.
I've seen days hot enough where
one couldn't touch the steering
wheel, and safety glass shatters.
Mesa, Arizona during an AC system
test (40 foot RTS city bus) à few
windows blew out. 122 deg outside.
Tinted windows saved the day.

To think that someone that has tinted windows is hiding or a drug dealer is total stereotype BS. I could be the same by thinking that anyone looking in my car is just seeing what they can steal. Why does anyone need to be looking in my car?
My 98 Dakota with 300K miles has tinted windows and has a really, really nice 27 year old interior. Here in the hot, dry, high desert I've seen cars that are a few years old and the interior is already turning to crap.
I had the rear glass in my 72 Dart tinted. Not really dark but really helps with the heat compared to the clear glass. I'll probably do the side glass too. I'll probably do my 72 Satellite and 78 D100 too, you know, so I can sell drugs and then hide. :bananaweed:

I like the look of most cars with tint would do it here but gives the law a reason to pull you over, and ticket you. plus harder to see the older I get.
 
All my cars get tinted and the windshield gets a strip down to the rearview mirror. With the strip on the windshield, I don't have to deal with the sun visor. Been doing the same thing since they invented the stuff. On my silver cars, I use a very, very, very light silver color metal tint that blocks out almost all of the heat from the sun, but you can still see in.
