Angry fix-it ticket in Socal

I got pulled over today, by a chick cop for my brand spanking new tint, 15% all around, but mostly because she thought it was limo tint. Does anyone know the rundown on fix-it tickets?

She said that i could just take off the tint and then get the stupid thing signed off, but i just about took it as an insult when she even suggested it.
Anyone know how much the fine would be if i just paid it without removing jack?

What'd you expect when you got all-around tints?

But anyway, I got tints all-around minus windshield. I forgot what percentage, but it's right under limo. Luckily haven't been pulled over yet.

it's because you had the two front windows tinted (if you didn't know that already). Once I get my EVO X, I'm gonna get the rear windows tinted 5% and leave the front stock for a while, might get 35% later on.

Where in Pleasant Hill are you from? And do you have a EVO X or a VIII?

East Bay in da hooouuussee!!

Anyways, it's too bad but I think your going to have to remove the tint from the front two and pay the $10 or $20 fix it ticket fee.

Get 35% all around or leave it stock. Period.

Now you've got to take the tint off and pay for that as well as the fees for the fix it ticket.

I dont think you have to go as high as 35% just go to the tint company and ask what the legal limit is. Or you can do what my dad did, just pay the ticket (his was $75) and hope you dont get pulled over again. My dad has not and its been a year. I have 5% tint and havnt been pulled over (knock on wood) but i had 5% on all my cars and trucks for the last 7 years

I just got this on my IX. Take off the front driver and passenger tint. Take it to your local CHP station and a cop will come out, look at it and sign it off. If you're lucky like i was he might be a car guy that drag races a 03 cobra at irwindale. He didnt charge me anything and told me he loved evos. lol

o yeah and put the tint back on if you want but dont get it as dark.

Here in IL I can get what ever tint I want on the back window and a certain % on the rear side ones. Can't touch the front window and much of the front side ones. I am ok with that. Still makes it look good. No reason to make it look like you are afraid of having people see you
