Re: converting from private to commercial
 

She's being penalized for driving a "luxury" vehicle. Or a gas hog
polluter. I saw like two pickups the whole time I was in Europe, but one
time I saw a Ford Excursion. There are lots of options available for the
windows, depending on locally available materials and skilled labor. I have
seen aluminum plate that is about the same thickness as window glass. The
black tint idea is a good one too, if the local inspectors will accept it.
They may see the glass and say no.

Re: converting from private to commercial
 

In California, we simply buy commercial plates from the DMV.

Passenger cars generally do not qualify for commercial plates, but trucks
often get commercial plates from the get-go. I don't know how the motor
vehicle people would look at a Cherokee (I think your Cherokee is a Liberty
over here -- which makes your position even worse).
