so ? i hope this guy has a sticker for my pop charger!!! lol or im screwed huh!

 

which guy? it's just in case someone decides to pull you over..

 

Oh jsut the guy I bought apop charger from..

 

o0o...the guy on marketplace called up JWT and asked them to send the sticker....and they said...yeah it only for California that needs the CARB sticker on it.

 

Its mainly do to oldder imports. civics ae so easy to steel and engine swaps on those are easy aswell.. so theres alot of stolen engines and trani's floating around so they somtimes look for that or like nesto said u could also have non carb leagal headers, intake, supercharger, turbo.. etc.. ur wireing kit nope ur good.

 

Hey for those of you who live in Norcal, do you think I'll get pulled over if I put 35% tint all around except the windshield? I don't want to just put tint in the back.

 

i have i think 30 all around i havnt got pulled over yet for it, the backs look darker then front though even though there the same. i think you will be fine. but then again any tint is a reason to get pulled over.

 

i got pulled over for 35%

 

Really? I'm going to try to get a doctors note and see how that goes.

 

a cop can pull u over for any tint in the front windows if he wants to.. i got 5% all around

 

i got pulled over for 50% on front side windows... had to remove them. my rears were 5% so the chp officer (at least in my theory) he pulled me over thinking i have the 5% all around.

 

The doctor's note doesn't really work. Some people swear by it saying that it has saved them countless times, however, the doctor's note pretty much states that your eyes are sensitive to light. All you need to fix that are those removal windows shades.

My uncle was told that by a cop when he showed him a doctors note for his tint.

 

Damn, even if I say my skin is sensitive haha. Don't want to risk having 35% all around.

 

The argument is that if your are sensitive to light, whether it be your eyes or your skin, you are only affected during the daytime. At night, you do not need any protection. With a removal shade, you can use it during the day and remove it at night, whereas with tint, you cannot remove it on a regular basis.

 

Sfgr415, thank you. Finally a voice of reason. Just to let you all know, a doctor's not does NOT apply to tint! If you got it passed a cop, then good for you. All that means is the cop hasn't fully read the section. The doctor's note only applies to removable sun screening device.

From the window tint section which is where everyone is getting this doctor's note urban legend from--26708 VC- ....

I stopped a lady the other day with 5% all the way around. She handed me her doctor's note, which I promptly gave back to her. She said she had a skin condition and could not be exposed to the sun. At this time, I directed her attention to the OPEN SUN ROOF! Nice try, license and registration please.

I also stopped a young man the other day in an Integra. Had him pop the hood. A couple of illegal things. The most glaring, the engine was stamped B20B. JDM motor. No good. Have fun swaping that out for the 1.8 that was supposed to be in there to get passed the state ref.
