Fellow CTCers: 35% tint all around on black interior + black headliner is safe enough? (talking about the front side windows)

Should be OK. Don't drive into Quebec though.  :P

One thing that always made me wonder though is that cars normally have some factory tint already. Like the V60 glass says "MIN 73% VLT" or something which I assume means its pre-tinted to as much as 73%


So 73 and 35 together would make about a 26% (multiplying). That's assuming 73% really is 73ish and not actually like 90. I'd guess Saint-Gobain's QC is pretty good tho.

That makes me feel angry!

My sons office is in  Gatineau  ::) , he tells me that the police stop the Ontario cars and give them tickets for having the front windows tinted even if it legal in Ontario, we should ticket all the PQ cars that do not have front plates

There should be federal standards for these things. Its kind of ridiculous that every province gets to set its own random laws.

I was driving in Gatineau last week with 35% tint, beige interior, windows up. Police car stopped beside me at a traffic light, and they were looking right at me. I got lucky.

Yeah I'm temporarily living in Hull and working in Ottawa (but a very quick walk across the river) and the cops there are everywhere. It kinda sucks though that they don't seem to enforce the HOV lanes as much as they should.

I just read that Josh Duggar is going to star in his own spinoff 'reality' show, called 'Five Girls and Counting'....
His dad had previously said those who commit incest should be executed.

I might tune in to see that...

Had some left over tortillas. Cut them into 1" pieces. Tossed them into the yard. There is a feeding frenzy now...birds and squirrels fighting for their Mexican food fix!

There always is on weeknight games.  I doubt that ballpark is ever near capacity other than the home opener.
