got caught with the tint
 

just about to get on the Southern State and i noticed a state police following me. so he follows for a while then comes in front then he disappears. Next came the flashing lights and the fine. only a week and i got one... sucks.

oh and to add to that... i think i blew my JBL subs two days ago [:@].

RE: got caught with the tint
 

what % tint do you have? I got 20% and nowhere in the tristate have they bothered me.

ooh that sucks, should have said you just bought the car with them on and was going to get them removed by a pro, he may of given you a little slack or drop your windows next time.

RE: got caught with the tint
 

yeah i told him that but he said its still no excuse. its aight though i love my car too much to let that ruin my day just gonna take it off eventually and redo it with a lower tint (the one right now i think is 10% or 5% :D)

Well just got out work and bout to go get my car inspection done. probably check the subs and tint issue same time.

About how much wouldbe a goodprice to get it retinted?

RE: got caught with the tint
 

Well it was $250 for all the windows 20% 3M tint for me, but they had no tint to take off.

5 or 10%? Wow dude, that's way too low. Good luck seeing anything on the freeway during night-time driving. Why do you want it so low?

Hey, it's hit or miss with tint. Sometimes you're lucky, other times, not so much.

I read an article the other day that stated my local police (MD area) were doing a crack-down on illegal tint, so it'll be 35% for me when i get around to it.

That sucks man I'm nervous about tinting my car (Jersey shore area), I'd $150 for all windows (my Audio shop loves me). I plan on going with 35% maybe darker. You should definately ride windows down until u get them re-done.

RE: got caught with the tint
 

5% tint all around, never been pulled over. It helps living in Arizona cuz cops dont mess with you since its so dam hot they pretty much let u tint the windows as dark as u want

RE: got caught with the tint
 

I had 35% on my Corolla and I never got pulled over. And in northern cali, i heard they are pretty strict on the rule. Last I checked front windows can't be tinted at all in California (correct me if I'm wrong). Im' still waiting to tint my Audi though
