I spun out into this ladies front yard today, into the grass, and missed a tree. All the people who passed me just looked and didn't bother stopping or helping me to get out. The ladies front yard that I was in, was nice enough to notice that there's a car in her yard and lended me her shovel. So I called my friend so he can help push me out. After 20 minutes I got out, rockin the car back and forth, and shoveling it out I now am going to look for some winter tires.

If your windows are as delivered from Mazda, you would not be the first to receive this type of ticket in the Chicago area. Unfortunately, I don't know a defense to raise in court. Rather than using another owners car, see if you can find one in a showroom somewhere to compare. Wilkins Mazda doesn't have one in the showroom.

Naperville Mazda usually has at least a couple of them.

You should use the Chewbacca defense.

Some cops will actually walk out into the lot and check if you have your car with you to see if you've complied or not. If its the "stock" tint then just get a letter from mazda and a few pics of showroom cars. Naperville Mazda should have a few around...at the very least they have one in the show room last I checked.

Is that the screem "Waaaa" while waving you hairy arms over your head? I would think the Bailiff would shoot you, thinking you were a terrorist that was trying to hijack the courtroom and take it to Cuba.

Where did you get the 8 from? Perhaps the dealer could give you a letter saying your window tint is OEM. Or go by Naperville Mazda or one of the other dealers and see if you can find one. I believe MazdaUSA.com allows you to shop for specific colors and see dealer inventory.

Where are you located at? Perhaps someone close by could meet up with you to take a pic. Might not have the same color car, but you should still be able to tell that the window tint is the same. I would be happy to meet up with you sometime. I'm in the Aurora/Naperville area.

I just checked mazdausa.com. Click on RX-8, then click on Search Inventory.

I saw a few stormy blue's - do they make winning blue anymore? I would think stormy blue would be close enough.
