    Our seat belts are orange. I just need something to block the uv rays. Too much Sun is bad. Makes ur skin age faster lol

    windows are built with 23% tint. there is NOTHING your going to find to put on your windows without going over the limit of 27%.

    and as for state regs. it's for YOUR safety. not becuase of liberals.

    cops have been killed way too many times becuase they pull cars over and can't see the gun inside. or your face.

    I have tint that I picked up at Wal-Mart. The best part is that is it is 12"x12" and is removable. It just sticks up on the inside of my side window with static electricity and peels off in just a second. I use it everyday and I've had it for like 5 years.

    I have 35% on a white truck, looks really dark. Makes a huge difference in amount of sun and heat during the summer. I run 75% in California and have never been hassled in several inspections. Pic is kinda far away but you can see how dark it looks.

    They have this new invention called 'sunblock' and it blocks dangerous uv rays, or so it claims.

    Many truckers without tint, get skin cancer on left side of face and hands. Those brown spots on back of hands are not age spots, they are sun damage. The police & DOT inspectors could not care less if you get cancer & die. I use the roll-up shade on the drivers side window & roll it up when I cross scales. Can get these shades at Walmart or truckstops & can see the rearview mirror just fine with it down. Wish I had known about it before the damaged skin.
