Too many tickets for tints help!!

I have 20% all around and I know its illegal to have them in front. Anyone know how to get the cops off my ***, bc this is the third ticket I am getting, and I really would like to keep them on.

Talk to your doctor and tell him you have photophobia and you need them. Have him write you a note on his stationary.

i have 35 in the front and 15 in the back, it dark and looks blended. the best part is that the cops around here don't really care aslong as they can see the person in the car driving.

At first, yes. But you get used to it. I agree with the CEO. Get 5/35 and you should be fine.

keep your windows rolled down all the time. I always have to drive with the windows down. But, maybe the weather is a little nicer here in southern california than illinois

I was thinking about taking off my 35% and going down to 20 or lower (just because it gets so hot in TX), but now you guys are making me reconsider.......

MugenRacerX,

I am going to prob take them off. I just got a ticket for the 3rd time. I hate buffalo Grove. I really couldnt care less if I have them or not, they are not that big of a deal to me.

Another thing you could do it get your eye doc to write a prescription for it... tell him your eyes are very sensitve to light. not sure if it will work, but ifyou need an eye exam anyways, it's worth a shot. take the script to the sec of state and get it authorized, and you should be ok.
unless its too late... :

: ifit is, sorry. i like the tints better all the way around also (like MugenRacerX).

yeah get your dr. to write a note saying you need the tint to see. my friend did that and he has 5% all around. if you wear glasses it may be easy to get from him.
