I have clear heat rejection on front windshield and wouldn’t risk having a tinted front windshield. I think that would be definitely asking for trouble.

Yeah, I've heard from others that 70% on windshield is barely noticeable. I don't know if anyone has been pulled over for that though. But a clear heat rejection on the windshield sounds interesting.

I've never had a speeding ticket for 25 years in this country, while living in 3 different states. Even though I always drive 5-10 miles above the speed limit on local streets and 10-20 miles over the limit on freeways. I never had a radar detector either, but I'm considering getting one for the M340.

*knock on wood*

My only ticket for 10 years in LA was for not completely stopping on red light when making a right turn which I was caught for by video camera. Didn't even know there were cameras.

I don't see that many cops around where I live and drive. If they are looking for two reasons....well, tinted windows and no front plate are two reasons.
