smoked in alberta is the only thing thats legal on the front windows i believe, something about tint changes the way the windows fracture and shatter in a colission. i would just phone around... i dont live in bc, and im not sure of the laws, so before you start getting tint happy i ould look into the laws to see if tint is legal all around.

i was told by an officer thats its only a problem because it changes how the window shatters. so if your going to go all around look into smoking them.

yah smoke em if your allowed to tint all around, i now that in Courtenay it all depends on the cop who pulls you over, but for the most part your only allowed to tint the back and the rear side windows. Does smoking the windows make it look the same as black out tint? and you can still see threw it?

im not sure really how it works and yes it does depend on the cop. some are nice some are not. my friend has 3 warnings from one officer, one officer the same one, about his tint on the front windows and the guy has only said please take it off i really dont like the paper work. nice guy. one threatened my sister to pull out his razor and make her peel it off right there. i think thats our rent-a-cop by-lay officer.

i would try to find someone who has had it done, and im sure the look depends on the skill since it is the same as body work essentially. just on glass.
