    Re: QUICKKK!!! All TINT! or No Tint!!!

    alright well the decision is im keeping the tint as dark as it is all the way around with exception of the driver and passenger side windows. i drive around too much with all of my friends acting stupid to not have tint lol specially late nights in hollywood on the weekend cops are everywhere!

    ill go get the tickets signed off that i got and ill retint it with "legal" tint on the front 2 windows

    thanks guys!

    Re: QUICKKK!!! All TINT! or No Tint!!!

    not really fun when you drive everyday cautiously knowning that every moment you might be getting another ticket and looking for cops so you have to scroll down your tinted front windows immediately...

    I was even more bad luck, I did scroll my front tinted windows down, both of them and the police stopped me for speeding, and that police said "why u roll down both front windows huh, pull it up for me" then bingo, I got busted even I scroll the windows down... lolz



    you're supposed to drive with pleasure.

    TAKE FRONT OFF.

    keep the tint... i get pulled over all the time just get my ticket extended and show it when i get pulled then go get the tint taken off after 2-3 months and redo it.. its 50 bux for the 2 fronts for a remove and redo job.. keep in mind i have 5% all around and 35% on my windshield which was a bad idea ima do 50% again.. i have not taken the tint off yet.. after 1 year. but im getting a new car tomorrow so i have to do that and go pay the ticket off.. :)

    haha no dont pay that ampount, they always send you that.

    if you dont fix it then thats what you have to pay. otherwise just take it off get it singed off, take it to court they will dismiss it and you pay a fee of 10 bones.

    thats it

    It pretty much depends on how much you piss the Officer off. Here in Florida you can either be given a 316.610 Fix it Ticket $10.00 or a 316.2953 Illegal Tint ticket $91.00

    that is true to some extent. i know here in cali theyll give me a tint ticket and in the box they check *not correctable* and i remove my tint have it signed off then i go to court and the judge ALWAYS dismisses the ticket.(its happened 3 times)

    trust me the more compliant you are with a police officer the more you get away with in the long run... i rather get a ticket for my tint after being asked to roll em up then say no to the officer than he gives me a felony for not having a cat

    Go to your doctor and have them sign a doctor's note for having eye sensitivity to light. Either that or have your mechanic sign the tint ticket without actually removing your tint; this is what I did. My tint is still on and didn't have pay a single cent.
