The 40% you got plus the slight OEM tint will give you a nice 35% setup. There would be no point in getting a tint that would not pass the required inspection. I consider vehicles tinted so dark I can't see in to be pimpmobiles. Dark tint is a great way to get pulled over around where I live, and I bet that is true in NC also.

A dark tint can also get you off on the wrong foot if you are ever stopped by law enforcement for reasons other than the tint. I certainly understand the officer's situation. There could be an AK47 pointed right at him behind that dark tint, and he wouldn't see a thing. I have suspected for some time that we will eventually have laws banning anything more than a very moderate tint. This would be strictly for the safety of law enforcement officers.
