it was a warning but the warning states that i have to go to the dmv and get a light meter test within 20 days or they'll suspend the registration on my car. maybe i can hit on the dmv lady and get it passed

Thy do but it's not a standard issued item in every cop car... Drive to Darknights in Markham this summer with illegal tints... They will get you for sure.. They pullover a few hundread cars everyyear and do thurough inspections of the aftermarket mods.. tints, lowering height, inspect tires for rubing, etc...


And from the post here the cop didn't have a meter, he just said it looked like it was illegal, hence the poster having to get it actually checked at the DMV. I bet you the cop couldn't legally give you the ticket unless he has an actual way of getting a light reading on it, opinion doesn't work for a ticket but I guess it can get you to get it checked.

haha dam here in jersey we got it pretty lucky. they just give a $45 ticket here. and they dont check any aftermarket mods. a cop pulled me over and asked if i was supercharged and said he wanted to s/c his 7th gen accord. lol i get pulled over for tint all the time and they always seem to let me go. maybe its my chief of police card n a fam. member pba card. haha

sorry to hear that, some Cops just don't have a sense of humor and allow the tint, just need to fill the bank accounts with your money

Yeah I'm going for sure, they changed the venue and have not released the location yet.. I pray it's not the SkyDome.

I think only reason it's 20% in FL is B/c of HOTT Sun RAY
