Not all officers find tint as a must stop that car deal. Although it obvious when its to dark, and trust me.. They will no that you know its to dark also. Old, but still used practice... If you hold your license up to the inside passenger window, close door seating in car, and the person out said cant see it(during day).. Then its to dark, and then the officer starts busting your ***** Also in each state as it cleared stated how dark it can be, but officers really only stop when its stupid noticeable to dark. Then tint is also used as an excuse to stop if the officer suspects you of something.[:-]

Still, if it's factory tint it shouldn't cause problems...

Ahhh well.

I just wish I could tint my front windows! lol
In Alberta, anything from the shoulders back can be as dark as you want... Like plywood is legal as long as you have side mirrors... But no tint at all on the front windows except for the 6" strip across the top of the windshield... Which can also be as dark as I want...

Well with the law thing i got one thing to say. Police have long used blacked out crown vics etcs, and yet they enforce the tint laws. Also you will notice blacked out police cars wont stop people with tint valuations(some will, but most wont). Why do you think that is? I think the laws should count for police depts as well as the public. Although i do like my blacked out crown vic[:-]

Around here we could care less how dark you tint your windows. It really is where you live. Also i would like to note if you have really dark tint(darker then state law allows), and you wreak you car/truck. Your car insurance will more then then likely up your rates etc.

the back of the blazer is a cargo area and all that glass comes tinted from the factory as long as the 2 roll down windows in the front are factory it should pass
