This is gonna be good....I wanna see pics but even more...I want to know how it goes.
What I can't understand is that, you can afford this car, tinting it or modding it or whatever, insurance, gas but can't afford the ticket and the removal of the tint...I know its extra money that could be well spent else where, but guess what bud, you ASSUMED the risk of being cited in CA...like anyone else who tints the front...no one ever thinks its going to happen to them then BAM, pulled over n cited.

It is not the money by the way, I've had over $1,000 in tickets in the last 5 months, thats no problem, it is the principal of the matter.

Also the fact that cops drive around (not a cruiser, their own car) with tinted windows and get away with it, that is bull and pisses me off even more.
By the way, I noticed your sig says you have tint, whats that about, you trying to break a law

Yea thats what I told him, pay the fine...not the fix it, the fine. It will be like 85 bucks or so, and you don't need to show them anything.

I don't know if this is possible but since other states have different laws regarding tints (ex Arizona allows tinting on driver and passenger windows) If you register your car in AZ, can CA cops still issue you a ticket for your windows? If not, this would definitely save you the trouble of handling all the tint related citations.

yes i do have tint all the way around. but i'm not going to try and pull a fast one knowing that I was breaking a law by having it done in the first place. you may disagree with it but it is what it is... a law. good luck with your attitude towards authority... it would suck if you got caught... and is it really worth the risk?

Also, a buddy of mine's dad is a police capt. and says that there is a new law this year that allows for front tints up to 20% as long as you take your car to your local PD and get the tint registered with them. Anyone know anything about this?

I am with Nickk6, the California tint law is BS. In other states you can have non-reflective tint up to 35% in the front, but somehow California is too good for tints. It's illogical to ban ALL tints on front window, since the point is law enforcement visibility. So long as the officers can see you through t the windows it should be legal!!
I think it's a PITA to drive around SoCal sun without tint. I live 2 miles from the beach and my arms are already 3 shades darker than my shoulder from driving the untinted sedan for 3 months. I can't imagine how anyone in the inland valley area live without tint on their cars.
Nikk6, get those acrylic done and we have a group buy on the forum to share the template. I am sick and tired of having to worried about getting pulled over and having to remove my very expensive Huper Optic tint.

CHP & TINT .... F-them
NEVER GET YOUR TICKET SIGNED OFF BY THE CHP ... THEY MAKE MONEY FROM THE TIX THEY WRITE, RIGHT ... IF YOU GIVE THEM A CHANCE, THEY WILL GIVE YOU A NEW ONE FOR ANY NEW EQUIPMENT VIOLATON THEY FIND ... **** THEY EAT THEIR OWN TOO YOU KNOW ... THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THEY ARE ABOUT THE ONLY AGENCY THAT STILL SIGNS OFF FOR FREE .... BUT, THAT STILL DOES NOT KEEP THEM FROM SUCKING.
BY LAW, ANY PEACE OFFICER CAN SING OFF A TICKET ANYTIME/ANYWHERE ... THE BEST WAY TO GET A TICKET SIGNED OFF FOR FREE IS TO FIND AN OFFICER (NOT CHP) AT A 7-11(OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) AND OFFER TO BUY HIS/HER COFFEE(THE OFCR WILL MOST LIKELY NOT LET YOU BUY IT). THEN ASK THEM TO SIGN OFF YOUR TICKET. JUST BE VERY COOL ABOUT IT.
ALWAYS HAVE THE VIOLATION FIXED BEFORE YOU HIT UP THE COP, UNLESS HE IS YOUR FRIEND
THEN ANYTHING GOES........BTW .... It Is The F**k'n CHP That Is Keeping That F**k'n Tint Law On The Books ... They Think It's Too Scary To Walk Up To Cars With Tint ... Always Remember, They Are Not Real Cops ... Dammmm, They Got Guns Too, How Scary Can It Be ....WTF

I am new to So Cal and find the tint law here rather lame as most of you do. In fact, when I got my G35 and had the windows tinted I just left it off the front two windows. But after looking on some website about tint laws (http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/consumer_in...statelaws.html), it seems in Ca. we can have a light tint? This was put in place in '99, has the law changed since then?
