Damn, i was driving today and got pulled over by a MC cop for my windows being too tinted!

I dont suppose anyone is/knows a Santa Rosa police officer that can sign off my ticket
Oh well, im done complaining.

 

i have a question, what tint do you have in the front. Also, what's the main reason for people tinting the front? Heat? Sunlight? thanks

 

Aww man, A black WRX with limo tint all the way around! Your just begging to get pulled ove rup here in SR! My wife just got one too on here 300ZX!!

Sorry bro!

 

There isn't a "main" reason to tint the front. Some people do it because of sun light, some do it for interior protection, some do it simply because tinting only the rears looks wierd...

 

I personally tinted all the way around because it looks good.
Its 5% on all 5 windows.
Next time im going to do double 5% :banana:

 

5% all around?!?!?!
man, not to hate or anthing, but you were asking for it. how the hell did you see out at night? i thought about doing 20% all the way around but settled on 35%.

 

5% looks really good, especially on black cars. I used to have it on mine, but got a ticket for it. Oh well, I can't complain, I was breaking the law...

 

ya, i know i was asking for it!!
but it just looks soooooo goooooodddddd

as to seeing out of it, its not so bad. The only hard part is if i have to parallel park, which i suck at anyway

oh well, ill get is signed off and get it tinted again, and again, and again:banana:

 

sorry to hear about that John. What a shame. but your car does look hella cool

Why don't you just pay the $100 fine, so you don't have to remove the tint?

 

im not sure if i can do that, i have to check

 

what are the legal specs for tint?

and if you wear corrective lenses, is it any different?

 

in california you cannot add any tint to the front windows other than what the car came with stock from the car manufacturer. all car windows are tinted a little bit, something like 87%-92%. its not enough to really tell its there. in the back you can go as dark as you want. 5% (limo tint) is what people usually get in the back. i dont know if there are any limitaions to tinting if you wear corrective lenses.

i dont know a cop in SJ but i have a few friends in SF

 

Years back I got pulled over in my MR2 turbo for having limo in the front. I asked him if i could avoid the ticket if I pulled it off right there and he said yes (as if "I gotta see this"). So I pulled up a corner of the driver window with my pocket knife and
R-R-R-RIIIIPPPPP!!! Pulled the tint right off. Asked if I could do the rest later because I couldn't see through the glue left on the window and he sent me on my way. Went home that night and cleaned it and re-tinted it same day. No ticket.

this is not recomemded though.... just a funny story. I did my own windows and still had the tint at home. That window wasn't perfest anyway...
