I was actually thinking of doing that, I have a neighbor who is a cop, and
kinda a friend of the family. I was thinking of asking to borrow his meter
to see excatly where the light beam was and then cut away a 1/2" section of
tint and replace with the legal limit. I think it would look "different"
having a line of semi-clearness across the windows. Last time I got popped I
just prepaid the $50 fine and left the tint on. Only been pulled once and
that was in the rain with the windows up, in an all black Eagle Talon.
Oh well.
