ohh i see but yeah something like that is the only thing. i mean doesnt do what most people want these days with tint, not to be seen like me

thats pretty cool though i mean if youre only looking for heat soak and uv protection that would be the way to go.

i have tint, a turboback, with a tune, and no front plate, i dont have cops sniffing me around. maybe you needa get those donuts outta the car.

what makes no sense is that you said get a downpipe and tune... well.... thats not legal either whats your point?

option c doesnt work anymore with optomistrists since 07? or 08? something like that my doc told me. if your family has likelihood of skin cancer you may be able to get it. but still the excuse is, the window glass is uv protection coated. hence why its 70% or whatever.

There is Option D, just get a cop to sign it off anyway.

Ya, except this gets you nowhere with a cop that actually reads the vehicle code. It clearly states that any material must be removable at night.
