Maybe it's just the picture, but is your front windshield tinted too? 5%?

Not that anyone else noticed but I did. Why is there a TL-S rim on the back drivers side?

TL-S rim is wider an way more squares off than the cl-s narrower pointier spoke.

I saw it immediately... I've owned a 03 TL. Granted the stock 03 aren't these, i know a lot about the cars i own and differences. Someone slipped this kid a TL rim figuring he'd never tell. He was right. He didn't. I could see the different wheel from the get go. It's so obvious to me. It's all about details.

Its just like 06-07 Accord 6 speeds came with 02-03 TL-S wheels. Not exactly as TL wheels were 17x7 vs 17x6.5 for Accord so that oddball rim could also be the Accord 6speed rim.

Yeah, I got a ticket for 5%.
Its a 95 dollar fine if I have it removed, or 115 if I keep it, but run the risk of getting another ticket...Im gonna keep it.

But anyways, I've heard that VA is extremely tough on everything, law wise.

Yea, VA will pull you over for anything. Which is why Im always running with the front plate and only have 50% tint up front, 35% in the back. Its not worth the hassle anymore.
