- They just want to be honest, law-abiding businesses, even if that means turning down business from people who want them to do something illegal. I don't understand why so few people seem to think that's a sufficiently good reason by itself anymore. 
I've never had issues with CA or my fob in general with the F1 Pinnacle.  |
Thanks. I do completely understand the issue with legality. Last time I had a car tinted was in the 90's, in Seattle. At that time, frequent cop shootings were a lot more rare and nobody cared if your windows were too dark to see through.
I did have problems getting my car inspected in NC, where shops are supposed to use a tint meter. It took getting to know a shop well and giving them business with several of my cars. After that they'd pass me.
However, I've been pulled over with that car many, many more times than I can count and not once did a cop mention the tint.
I do know that the other shop I looked at, that would use Wincos, will drop down to 20%. I'll just have to go to the Pinnacle shop and see how 35% looks.
