Just curious to those who have all your windows tinted darker than 35% (mainly 20% all around), do you ever get pulled over for it or is it mentioned during a pull over for something else?

So if you don't take care of it do you just pay a fine? [MENTION=4923]The Beast[/MENTION]
I had 25% all around on my GTI a few years ago, and Warrenville cops did u turns in the middle of Rt 59 to pull me over specifically for the tint. Not speeding, just driving normally. The GTI was a white car with a black interior and no sunroof, and probably looked darker than most other combinations, so that was likely a contributing factor. I've gone 35% on the sides and 25% on the back glass since then on my other cars and have had no issues going past the same cops the last couple of years.

I had 20% on my old black G35. Of the 10 years I had it, I was stopped 8 times for tints. Each one was a city ordinance violation, a stupid $50 fix it ticket. It was about 1/year which I called a tint subscription fee. All of them were in Schaumburg, where I live and work.... it all comes down to the city and how many sales they are willing to make.
I too got a kick out of some intense, split second moves these cops would pull to catch me..... for tinted windows...... . Instant U-turn in traffic and 80+ in a 35 to catch me like I was an escaped convict that just held up a bank.
Despite all that, 20% imo is still the best. I just got a new car that came pre-tinted with 35% and I think its too light.... but its legal haha.
I've had 20% all around on every car for the past decade. Imo the best way to go, you can't see in the car at night but I have no problem seeing out. Never been pulled over for it.Just curious to those who have all your windows tinted darker than 35% (mainly 20% all around), do you ever get pulled over for it or is it mentioned during a pull over for something else?
