Lots of places won't accept an optometrist's note and will still give you the ticket.

LOL but like I said above, my windows are ALWAYS down through the spring and summer. And, during the colder months, I don't drive my car very often at all....

In the summer, both my windows are always down anyways, so the only thing you'd see is the tinted hatch.
Yes, looks good on mine which is the same color... I had the rear tinted 35% which is the legal limit in VA... The rake of the rear window makes it look darker because of the angle... 50% was legal for the sides and I didn't bother... A friend has 20% all around and hasn't been pulled over... I probably should have done that.

If they dont take the letter, you can fight it... there is no way they can prove you dont have the condition that makes you sensitive to sunlight. You would get out of the ticket everytime, regardless if they give it to you or not.

Wow... I think you are the first person I have heard of who drives a car like this who doesn't think tinted windows ENHANCE the appearance

That is going to get expensive for you to re-do the tint at the beginning of each summer

the driver often gets a second look from the fairer sex in a car like this
I need to move to Dubai. Our Camaros get little to no attention in Dallas because they aren't made by BMW or Lexus.

I'm located not to far from Dubai. How do you pass inspection?
