Yes. I guess you can mail it. But I am assuming you live in the Valley and the ticket is out of either the Chatsworth courthouse, the SF courthouse, or VN courthouse. In any of those situations, they are close enough that I would rather pay in person than risk anything in the mail. One piece of advice on paying the citation....I'd go in mid afternoon. I've found that lines are much shorter around 2:30pm and later than in the morning. The lines for traffic citations at SF Courthouse suck fat ones in the morning.

This is fine if you have NO OTHER MODS on your car. CHP is notorious for citing for other thing when you bring in your car to get signed off on a correctable citation. In my case, I have very visible tints on my headlights, sidemarkers, and tail lights. The tint was expensive and so was the install. I don't want to have to deal with that whole mess. Most patrol cops and chippies don't know about this and aren't paying atttention enough to cite me for this. But I'm dead at a CHP inspection station. OTOH, the Sheriff's deputies at the courthouses don't want nothing to do with nothing. You can have a dead body in the back seat of your car and they will look the other way. So I pay the $20 for them to sign it off. It doesn't hurt that they are just down Van Nuys Bl...about 5 minutes from Sunshield. And that all of this is less than 10 minute from my house.

I knew a guy who worked with plastics. He fabricated fake windows.
Basically, he rolled down his existing tinted windows, placed the new ones he fab'd above in the window slot and got signed off with that. He got LUCKY!

Lol. It might be easier to just borrow someone's car with the same color.

I think cops are smarter than that... They might just look at your vin # which is quite visible on the dash and written on most tickets....
