Black car with black interior is a PITA in the summer and it gets REALLY hot. I don’t want to deal with putting a shade up all the time. > > As for registration/inspection, I think I’m gonna have the installer cut them out in the tint so that part of the glass isn’t tinted. I’m not worried about the tickets, but I want to try and fool people into thinking it’s not tinted by making the registration/inspection look normal. Read up on this ‘trick’ on a BMW forum. Then just make sure the people who inspect my car either let me stick the sticker or put it on with me watching. I have mine done in 35% and love it. Helps with glare and the heat on the black leather a ton!!! I had them tint over the reg and insp and will just cut them out when I am ready for new ones. they stand out more but look perfectly normal.
