Man, you have got some rotten luck, bro. I would fight it. At least try to get it reduced! Cops are a**holes.

28% in the fron and 15% in the back..

i got my eye doctor to write me a release.... i had the lasic done a couple years ago and its for that....

so when i do get snapped i give them that with my license and registration and they cant do anything to me.. if they write me a ticket i can go to court and sue.
get the ticket dismissed and claim that my insurance is going to go up because of the ticket being issured.... all cops know that and they dont hassle me.

theres only 1 city in the area i live in that cares and hassle's people... and im rarely there cause its super wigger lol might get gatted by a homey in a clk500 with a 4.0 gpa lol

cheers!

well its traded now... but i had a custom downpipe with electric cut out.. 2nd side intercooler, custom piping, neuspeed race springs, h&r sway bars, revo custom tune, 007 bpv, 50 shot n/x, ported mani and stock ko3, lots of stereo **** and looks... it had some pep to it but mainly i wanted a chill ride.

i know it handle better than the evo, but it felt like it did. i felt a lot more confident driving it and had a better feeling after a fast turn.. the evo feels like it wants to slide out crazy... the audi was just planted.

cheers!

Cops see me for:

Rally RED
Limo tint 5%
Exhaust sound (greddy ti with downpipe/cat-delete)

I get tint tickets and since my friends are cops they just sign it off for me and thats it. In michigan anything on front 2 windows is illegal cept for 4 inch from top.
lookin good! I have 5% on my Rally Red too

Whats bullshlt about tint is that it gets a little darker over time. So you could get it at the darkest legal limit, and then a year later get a ticket cause it's too dark. I had 20% on my last car and got pulled over for it, along with no front plate and not wearing my seatbelt. Anyway he tested my tint and it came back at like 16% Our laws in WI are 50% in front and 35% in rear, but personally I think it looks ghey with the front and rear two different tints, so I do 15% or 20% depending on the color of the interior, and the car itself.

By the way you guys with 5% are crazy, with 20% I had to roll down the window sometimes if I was on a road with no street lights.

i got 20% and i have gotten 3 tickets in the last 2 months two were in the last two weeks. 75 bucks cash on the spot every time. thinking about taking them off the front or getting lighter like 30% but i think it will look stupid.
