I am tinting my windows because my charcoal leather interior gets painfully hot in the summer. I have a "pull me over" red bonneville and let me tell you what, it attracts cops like flies on dogshit. Although, i have to admit, one time, i was doing 19 over and the cop only gave me a ticket for 5 over. WHEW! No points.

I've only had my Bonneville for 2 1/2 months now, but so far I have to say that cops don't even give me a second look. My windows are tinted too. It probably helps that I drive an older model. Guess it'* not as flashy as the newer ones. Oh well...as long as the cops leave me alone I'm happy...Andru.

So far I've been good in my SSE. With my 94 SE I was pulled over for the first time since I had gotten my licensce with a week for buying the car. I was pulled over 4 time in a 6 month period. Only recieved one ticket for speeding but was lost in the system so I didn't have to pay for it. Twice for speeding and then twice for unsafe vehicle starts. I had never heard of that before. The cop said the ticked for unsafe vehicle start would have been around $135.

I have to say, I've never been pulled over yet. No tint, but I got Pontiac and Pontiac Racing Stickers. I've flown through speed traps at 15-20 over and nothing'* happened.
