I'll take better pics another time.
It's the dawn/dusk that'll get you, but maybe not so much as with 45%. The times when it's not too bright or dark for having your windows down to make a difference. I had an Accord with 5% all around and 35% on the windshield and got away with it for about 5 years.

That is. . . until I pulled up first at a light during dusk making a left. The cop was in the oncoming lane and was first, too. I know he was staring me down It was dusk and I had all my windows and sunroof down. Needless to say, shortly making my left, I see the lights and knew exactly what it was for. Oh well, had to happen eventually.

I live in KY btw and they really don't give a **** about tint in general. I think this one cop was just had his eye out.
