Simple...if you change it then it is no longer factory fitted . . .factory fitted simply represents those things that come with the car during production . . .or did you manufacture your own car? smiley

I think what he means is, if he fits OEM tinted glass to his SUV? As in factory green / brown glass (not stick-on film).

If he did that, he'd be fine. It wasn't fitted from the factory, but as long as it's OEM, he'll have no worries.

Ok I get it . .. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) tinted can serve the purpose as against the locally made film tinting.

First of all, i doubt if ANY accord comes with factory tint except if it was specially ordered with the car or dealer installed. If at all, then it would be a light tint on the REAR WINDOWS ONLY. What year is your accord? & please tell us if its EX, LX or EX V6.

Roll down the window a little bit & look at the top edge of the glass. If its factory tint, then there shouldn't be any film of tint that will start just below the edge, as in the entire glass up to the tip/edge at the top should be the same colour.

Now there are some after market tints (part of 'pimping' sometimes) that are apparently (to me) not removable. You'll clearly see the film of tint beginning just below the top edge of the glass after a tiny section of clear transparent glass. But you won't be able to peel or scratch off the tint. I think in such a scenario (as i suspect your's might be), the best thing to do is to just tell the police that it is factory fitted & that if they doubt, they should try to remove it.lol.

Just my opinion o, i stand corrected.

DEFINITELY not a factory tint. Have you tried to see if it can be removed? if you can't remove it, then it means the police too can't, abeg just claim its factory tint jor.lol
