Damn...thought I wouldn't get stopped since I have only 35% all around(except windshield) and it was a bright sunny day. Oh well, I knew the risks and now gonna pay. Anways, just wondering how many of you have been caught more than once and how much did the tint tickets costs each time (I'm considering keeping the front tints and chancing another one). I might also consider changing them to the V-Kool 70%....anyone have experience with these?

btw...got stopped by a motorbike CHP on 580W past Berkeley

 

v kool is an awesome tint but might be too light... have you considered hupers?


btw, automalltint is top notch. sid did my hupers back in 2004 and i couldnt be more pleased.

 

I would like tint but this is the only reason that keeps me from doing so, is getting cited for something so small...

 

I have 20% back 30% sides and 50% fronts suntek hp and haven't got stopped yet

 

when did you get tint?

 

2 years ago when I first bought the car

 

never noticed it

 

Yea fronts are light so can barely notice

 

City cops usually don't care...it's almost always the CHP that will stop you for front tinted windows.

 

I think even the hupers are still considered "illegal" even @ 50%. I thought I was gonna slide by with my 35%..guess not. If I stay "illegal" I'm just going to stay with the 35% in the fronts.

I mainly want the tints in fronts for sun/heat reduction(and for looks if possible).

 

i have had my 40% hupers for over 4 years now. zero problems with law enforcement. yeah, it's illegal but it's not that noticeable.

 

i feel sorry to hear this.

when did you get tint?
do the cop say any other things to you?
do your ride too attractive for him??

 

eh... ive gotten 3 tint tickets from city cops, 0 from CHP

 

Wow..always been the reverse for me....strange.

 

Nope...only thing he got me for was tints, but as he was writing me up, he walked to the front and got me for no front plates too.

You might be right...I was riding on stock 18" wheels(for 4 yrs) up until last summer when I got AME 19" more aggressive set(probably put no more than 5k miles on them). Everything else was the same. Maybe the new wheels got his attention.

Anyone with a completely stock looking G get stopped for tints?
