Boy, talk about giving cops a reason to draw on you! 2 layers of 5% film
don't let enough light IN to see out during the daytime, in full sunlight.
Did you happen to sport a mullet in those days? Oh, yeah, drugs, you
probably wouldn't remember. Hell, they probably just TOLD you they had
tinted your windows, and you drove around all summer trying to convince your
buddies that your windows really WERE tinted, but the free expansion of your
mind was allowing you to see through the veil perpetuated by the man ;D
