Seems an Officer was killed while approaching an SUV with tinted windows.

I assume it will pass. Tickets are a revenue source and the Governor is blind.

I had my car tinted by the dealer when i bought it. 35% is just perfect for a briliant black. Not too dark for the police and not to light.

Yeah I think 35% is a perfect tint but being in NY and the hillbilly cops in orange county and I going to put 50% all around to reduce heat and keep the fuzz off my back.

I did 35% with CXP Sun Tek, a carbon film the cuts out twice the UV....car stays significantly cooler and here in the south that is important. 35% on my dark gray gives it the finishing touch it needed.

PS...law states 27.5% is legal for SC...even thou all the unmarked LEO cars are 5%
