Fellows around the 626 area or near

Planning on tinting my Si soon, and wondering if any of you guys have gotten stopped by the police because of your tint.

nope, had a cop in la puente pull up next to me, squint through my tints and waved when he noticed i was looking at him. But my friend got pulled over for tints, then the cop ticketed him for not having a front license plate and exhaust ontop of his tints, this was in Rowland.

My tints aren't dark, so no. Well, my front windows aren't dark, at any rate.

90% of the time, my sunroof is open anyway, unless I park. So I guess it brightens up the interior a little.

True. Your 95+ is our 80ish or so at the beach. Round 90 inland. But to answer the original question i think im doing 5% in the back and 25% up front.
