Tint them so long as it is legal........ Check your state regulations and see what the maximum is allowed, then do it.

Otherwise the tickets just aren't worth it.

+1 on that; also check out any neighboring states that you frequent - thats how I was awarded a $100 fee for windows being too dark.

heck i tinted mine a 1 1/2 ago darker than the law says is legal and haven't been messed with. had some PA cop tell me my windows were to dark to him to shove it up his rear cause my truck isn't registered in PA so there is nothing you can do about it.

i tinted mine and they are 1 shade darker than what is legal here in va. i haven't had any issues in years and have avoided most of them by rolling down both front windows when i got pulled over.

I am in Calgary and have had my fronts tinted for almost a year with no pullovers or fix it slips. You bringing to much attention to yourself?

Tint them. I've never heard of tent being illegal, if so just stay out of the ghetto.

I have a silver truck, tinted windows was the best $100 mod I've done. Both fronts and the rear, kept them legal too.
