[Shotimes] Anybody selling a SHO??

[Rick Glass]

You will lose all ability to see behind you in the dark with limo tint (very
annoying when you have to open the door to back-up in the rain)......I have
had tint on almost every car I have owned for the last 16 years, I would not
go darker than 15% or 20%.....with limo you will get harassed, even in
places you wouldn't otherwise have a problem.....
I was once forced by local PD in Nashville, TN to strip my window tint (on
the side of the road), the car I was driving at the time was licensed and
tagged in Florida......officer threatend to impound the car if I didn't make
it legal for operation by the state of TN requirements, which is 35%.
Would have cost more to fight the issue and travel back to TN for court, so
I stripped it and re-tinted it with 20%, after that I simply drove with the
door windows down when I was back in Nashville, have never had issues with
20% anywhere I have ever been, only problems were when it was limo tinted.
