Tinted windows- Anyone?

[pinkpete23]

Hey,

Anyone have tinted windows? Here all the guys are putting tint on- even real dark.
I asked a CHP and he said NO, NO, NO !! Not even lite legal tint. He said it is a $100 manditory fine- not a fix it ticket and one point on your record. I dont believe that to be true .. where does it say that?

hey pink nice transfer. I sold my transfer a couple of years ago to a guy in SF. Here in NM you can have a light tint, If its to dark though DOT will fine you $150

State laws differ on the amount of tint they will allow. It is good to check with them to make sure you are in compliance.

Not sure what the rules are here in CA - but I plan to have mine tinted 50%

I got a $140 ticket in SC four years ago at a road side insp. by a transport officer. he said if it was from the factory it was legal, but since it was added later it was not. It was a very light tint. I called the court where my ticket was to be paid and the judge backed him up. I paid the ticket by mail, I still don't know if I could of beat it.

So youre telling me if say my state allows 50% and I go to another state and its only 30% there, they have the right to give me a ticket?

Oh yeah, and Michigan is about the most strict! Not just the front but sides and back too. You will be ticketed every time they stop you here.

[sbatson]

Thats not right in so many ways!!!! I dont care if another state likes it or not, if I got a ticket in another state because my tint was to dark but it was ok in my state I would get a lawyer because its not like its something you can just pull off, its like those black covers you put on your head lights and tail lights on your auto at home, some states will let you run at night with them on and some will not but you can just pull them off, no big deal.

States rights! That's why the Civil War started.

I had a tint ticket in KS. 1st scale going N on I35. He says 5% is legal. I had 35%.

Cure: roll window down when going through scales!

My oldman has 20% on his pete for the past 2 years no problems.

Only problem is my 2009 Volvo the window don't roll down the whole way. ABout 2 inches stick up.

I was going through the scale in Salix, IA southbound on 29 and they got me. They are obviously looking for it there so be careful.

Did ya see the thing they use to measure the light? It hangs on the top few inches of the glass. It would look terrible but maybe you could leave the top 6 inches of the glass untinted.

Dont even bother with window tint!! I had to pull mine off 2 different times at weigh stations because they said it was illegal but here in Fla it was legal different states different laws its bull sh-t!!

I've had pretty dark tint on my Classic for several years. I roll them down when crossing scales. Haven't had any trouble yet, but I've been several years betting that I will.

[Doghouse]

Theres nothing I hate more than 48 diff. definitions and opinions (opinions fron DOT) about tint laws,....I ride bare, with a pair of terminator shades on my fat head.
I took off my visor and now I get another mile per gallon!! soon I'll be up to my goal of 17 mpg.

well if you roll across the scalles with both windows down at 15 degrees out, that might give them a hint something aint right.. be it the driver or his windows. lol.
