This thing about tinted tails is admittedly a personal peeve, but it's also a significant legal issue.
99% of the time if you get rear-ended it's deemed to be the following car's fault...EXCEPT if you have tinted tails, then it's gonna be 99% chance of it being your azz, not theirs. Ask a police officer, ask a lawyer, ask an insurance investigator. So here's the point--running tinted tails opens you up to serious liability, as in your own insurance won't cover, even if it's largely the other guy's fault.
think about it. it's a lose-lose proposition, esp if it's an F-250 who can't see your turn signal in backlit bright sun. then it's lose-lose-LOSE. Gawd help you if the F-250 driver or passenger gets hurt.
