just picked up an 06 evo mr with 26oo miles. Just wanted to say watup and get a feel for the forum. DOnt have plates yet but cant wait to drive it. JUst one question and that is

Do you get picked on by cops alot bc i want to tint the car but it stands out already. THanks guys

 

Yes, I've had cops enforce laws that I've broken while driving my evo.

 

the car stands out, cops notice it
i would say keep the tint legal if you dont want to get hassled

 

Im not sure about where you live, but here you can tint every window except the front 3 as dark as you want.

 

I've had 5% for about 2 years and gotten hassled twice for it. not as bad as I would have guessed but the answer is yes.

 

I have gotten stopped twice for no reason other than to harrass me, but got let go each time. Never got bothered about the tint though (20%).

 

lol! +1

There is a negative association between young drivers and Evo's. There has got to be a reason for this. Please don't add to it.

 

well if its illegal in your state then it just gives them another reason to pull u over.

 

Congrats & Welcome. All depends on your state/county and how the cops are. I agree with everyone that said keep it legal.... the car does attract a lot of attention so the less reason you give to be pulled over the better.

congratz, post pics!

 

Congrats on the evo... After having different cars with tint on them, its not worth the hassle that cops give about tints.

 

Cops are gay. Depending on your area, you will be hassled about your tint at some time or another. I would stay legal on the tint. Most inportantly, enjoy your car and welcome to Evom. This place rules, you will have fun here.

 

welcome! and stay legal if u dont want more attention

 

Depends on where you live. I live in upstate NY now and get follow all the time because 1) I have Ohio tags and they seem to make presumptions about of out of towners here and 2) because I drive a dropped civic with 18's blah blah blah and they tend automatically assume you drive fast and have no regard for other drivers. I like to call it getting "profiled" because that's exactly what is. Regardless of your tint I'd say your prone to being profiled anyway the tint will just make it worse. But I can't live w/o tint so you just have to succumb to being tailed every now and then. Keep the high rpms to roads you know there aren't many cops.

 

welcome to the forum. lets see some pics of the new MR
