I had it on my tC for about a year and a half with no issues. Also had it on my Camaro for about 4 years before that. All it takes is one cop to be in the right mood to get you for it so dont give them a reason .

I had mine for 11 months now. Only pulled over once, the officer used the machine on my window and showed the window to be 18%, but I guess he was in a good mood that day and just let me go.

i had 20 % all around in my old civic (4dr), and got pulled over once, but it was a "verbal" warning to take it off. I never took it off, lol. But on my TC, i have 20 in the back, 36 front the front two. I think it looks clean. I dont feel like getting bothered by the cops and having to pull my windowns down everytime I see one.

Dark stuff guys. I know a few tC guys that seem to get pulled over because they drive a tC. Cops are on the lookout and fixing tint can be a b-otch.

it all depends on the cop. i almost got a fix-it tix on my stock front windows. i does look slightly tinted but that cop was retardo. obviously if it was tinted u could see the film.

I have 20% all around and even if the car looks sick , sometimes it's a hassel to look out for cops all the time. I'm going to buy my sisters tint for her civic and I'm getting her 50%.then again I don't have a front plate either.
