Mr. T, glad to have you here! the laws on tint are 40% I believe. Most tint shops can tell ya what the legal limits are. I just had 'em do the max on mine but it is not as dark as I would like to go.(almost limo black) Blue headlights are frowned upon in some areas but, and fogs are no problem if no more than 4 bulbs are on at a time(state law) but some cops will give ya' greif if they "look to bright" and blind other cars. As for neon, I don't know much. Just make sure NO white or blue light shows to the rear of the car.BTW, where are you located?

I'm over in Eagan, south of St. Paul. i don't know where Freeport is but if it is not to far maybe you would like to cruise with the other Minn. group members this summer. We had a fun time last year over in Wis. on the country roads. Man, we were rippin'!

Any of you guys interested in a used SVT exhaust? I'm selling mine since I'll be getting my Borla next week. Let me know either on this post or email me at Buckshot77@aol.com. I'd like to sell it close to Iowa (I live in DesMoines). I am also going to check the Omaha guys.

Thed legal tint for Minn. is 50%, excluding the winshield which can't be tinted at all. ON our cars or at least mine there was a slight factory tint, and when I had my windows tinted, you end up going past the legal limit anyways. Neon lights are illegal on roads. But I live in Bloomington and have seen a few people with them on at night, but usually at about 1 or so in the morning.

P&L down in Edina does a hell of a job. I dont know if thats too far to drive, but they had my car in and out in less than a day. I've had them about 3 months and am very happy, other than I scratched my one rear window on the outside. Give them a call i got it done for $213 with tax.
