then again, my muffler and tail light is illegal on the bike, so what do ya do
Same law applies in NH. I have them all tinted on my Vigor, I roll with the windows down in the Summer anyway, and it's not on the road by the time the cold/snow hits.

oh you have a vigor?? always had a sweet spot for those, something about the I5 that appeals to me, pretty rare car around these parts, same with the legend, not many around.

however up here we have the acura CSX (basically your civic EX NAV) which is a funky car...leather, HID's, etc and a different front and rear end.

They don't really enforce the tint law do they? Where i live, tinting the front windows is legal. I tinted my satin silver metallic Honda Accord EX with the darkest legal tint possible and it really makes my car look a lot more luxurious, it's given me more privacy (when i leave stuff like CDs in the car), and helps my car's interior cool down faster on hot days (black interior).

up here the law is enforced pretty harshly, not so much as it wasa couple years back when the speed demon hood scopped bone stock civics and sunfires were around after that dreaded movie (hahha) but the law is there to throw around whenever the need be.

on a routine patrol we can stop who we want to and if theres tint then we have the discretion to fine. its actually ticketed as a moving violation and is 2 points off your lisence (i think in most places you get poits added to your lisence, here we start with 10 and lost points until you reach zero)

also up here cell phone use is banned while operating a vehicle and is subject to 4 POINTS off of your lisence (which yes means that you gwt caught on a cell phone twice and you have almost lost your lisence)

actually before i ever got into law enforcement i had a car with 15% window tint all around and i loved it, it yes kept the inside less visible and kept the interior cooler but was pretty dark. i did get pulled over for it and was given a 20 dollar fine and no point and my next ticket was gonna be the one where id lose points from my lisence. maybe now i will be able to get tint and get away with it when i get a ticket

also i live in newfoundland Canada, cant get more east coast then that hah

So the no tint law is strictly enforced eh (lol)? Well that sucks because tinting would really look nice on your accord. Since your an officer of the law i'm sure they'd give you a break (haha). One quick question what is the rice stuff and ricer law all about?
