[QUOTE="RedTailHawk, post: 196879, member: 4840"] Driving from VA to NC last week, I was in a convoy of cars cruising down I95 when we passed a cop. Speed limit was 70 and the entire group was doing about 80. After we pass the cop, I see him slowly pull out onto the highway (no lights flashing yet). A couple cars at the front of the group peel off at the next exit. The cop slowly catches up in the rear, then hits his lights and speeds up and gets on my ass. Once pulled over, I put down both my front windows because I'm not sure which side of the car he'll approach. The officer walks up and says he didn't pull me over for speeding, but said "your window tint is not legal". Asks me to raise the windows slightly and puts a little device on the window to measure the darkness of the tint. He said 50% is the limit in VA. Mine was 23% (I figure that's the 35% I had installed on top of the light factory-installed tint). While pulled over, he also gave me a ticket for not having a front license plate (I had just removed it a couple weeks ago when I installed the Rigid 20" light bar). So now I have to figure out a way to mount the front plate (possibly the license bumper mount from an F150 Ecoboost) and learn to either put down the windows whenever a cop is nearby or get used to getting a ticket. The truck just looks perfect with the dark tint. I don't think I can go back to stock tint. [/QUOTE]
