Custom Window Tinting right?
That guy is awesome at his trade though, hes done 4 of my cars and trucks and always does an almost flawless job. He did 20% on my side windows and just said he couldnt give me a reciept for it. I think after a short crackdown for maybe like a month or two, the cops will stop messing with people about window tint..... im sure it will get old for them having to do traffic stops just for that.

Is the ticket just a fix-it ticket? I have 5% all around..

I screwed up about a month ago by loading a picture with a frame into my back seat, and I scratched up my tint. I need to get it retinted..

Just drive around with your front windows rolled down all the time.

MPREZIV · 2009-03-20, 11:23 AM

Yeah... easiest way to avoid this: No window tint. My car's only got the factory "smoked" windows. I've honestly thought of doing them darker, but every time I get money to have them done, I see some other part for sale that I REALLY, REALLY need, and well... I have a car that handles fantastically, but has no tint.

MattR · 2009-03-20, 12:04 PM

I'm going to drive around with my dome light on all the time.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-03-20, 12:36 PM

I am pretty sure that I have seen cop cars with less than 35% on the front. Are they EX to tint laws?

Kevin M · 2009-03-20, 12:37 PM

Yes.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-03-20, 12:41 PM

Cops have all the fun.
