No, you can't sue her for this because you can't sue someone else for your choices or actions--and it's your choice to drive her car, with the tint. If youd do not drive her tinted-window car, you can't be ticketed for it; and even if her car is very convenient for you to drive, you are not forced to drive it--you could obviously refuse to do so. So driving an illegally tinted car is your choice, and you cannot sue for the consequences of your own choices.
