Window Tint

Anyway, have a blast tinting your windows but give a thought to the people on the other side of the glass. And, oh yeah, how do you think a cop feels approaching a car he can't see into?

People who aren't responsible shouldn't have window tint... however people that aren't responsible shouldn't be driving in the first place. 99% of the time I drive with my top down and when it isn't I always use proper precautions. Responsible people also put their windows or top down when pulled over so as not to piss off law enforcement.

I agree. A while back (97 blue boxster) I was stoped by NYPD under cover police. Four guys came around my car with huge flashlights. They said I was speeding (45 in 35 mp) but let me go. I think the reason they stop me be because of my tint windows.
The next day I took off my window tint.
