Ok, I have 15% on my car already. I want darker! LOL But...how dark can you go before the cops start pulling you over? I'd love to get limo tint on the back window, then lighter toward the front.

How dark are the rest of you? Have you been pulled over?

Thanks!

Oh...P.S. Is tinting the head/brake lights retarded or actually good? Someone (no names mentioned *hack cough cough*) suggested it, but I'm a little leary of it.

I know you probably won't want this, since you de-badged your car.. But when I had my Zoomie , Pooh Bear bought me a couple of those white Zoom-Zoom stickers and I put one over my 3rd break light. It looked pretty sweet, I don't think I have any pictures of it to show you. I will look when I get home and see if I do somewhere....

Just an idea.

I believe you can go as dark as you want behind you, but the front driver side and passanger side doors must be at least 25% by Colorado law. I know a couple people with 15% that have gotten tickets alreadys.

I have 20% all around. I do kinda wish i went darker but im happy with the way it looks. No trouble yet.

I had 5% on my Civic which was Dark especially at night, but hella nice in the bright sun. Only had one Cop say something but no Ticket.

depends on where you are and who pulls you over, if you fail the sobiety test, etc...my biggest issue with a super dark tint is the inability to see
anything at night. I have been happy with 20% and haven't had any issues thus far....don't give them a reason to pull you over tho like
removing your license plate, adding a 6" fart can, hogging all the lanes on I-25...doing 90 in a school zone, you get the picture...

thanks for the tips guys! i'll be sure to only go 80 in the school zones, but I don't know if I can stay away from the fart can!

I still think one of the best things you can do to this car is remove the front license plate and holder. That thing just looks terrible. [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/2cents3fo.gif[/img]

I agree! I hated the design of the back bumper as well with the license plate.. Everytime my husband or I took the car through an automatic car wash it bends the plate... I had to get new plates when I got the CX-7 because my old ones broke in 2..

haha no it was not a firehose car wash.. It's actually the one at Pooh Bears work. The one they take ALL their cars through. It does a REALLY good clean job, but for some reason the way the back bumper is designed on the 3's it bends the plate. I just took mine through there so much that it eventually broke off.
