Does it really matter if his device read 31% on your 35% windows that are
still well below the 50% legal requirement? The situation sucks either way...
I would like to tint my front windows a bit, but any amount of tinting on
front windows is illegal here (CA). I'm not looking to make them look
blacked out, just want to keep the bright sun out of my eyes (and keep the
inside of the truck cooler)... but noooo, can't have that.
