They're pretty lenient here for the most part. They won't pull you over for
just tint, you have to be doing something stupid to warrant the stop first.
We don't allow any tint on the front windows persay, but I've never been
hassled with any previous vehicles. This is the first one to not have
tinted windows. Plus, unless you're a ricer they're not looking for you.
People in trucks tend to get away with a TON more in my area for some
unknown reason.
Good idea on the swapping windows, but that'd be too much work for me.
