I knew my tints were illegal when I put them on, but I was like "fuck it I'll never get caught". Two weeks later, I got caught.

I was just going to pay the $102 fine, but I ended up getting a doctors note from my friend's cousin who's an optometrist...."Patient suffers from photophobia. Please allow him to wear sunglasses in glass and to tint his car windows." I didn't think it would work, but in court I showed it to the judge and he threw out my ticket!

Now I'm gonna be rolling with 5% limo tint all around.

 

Nice

 

Shame the Doctor knows how say "tint" and you don't.

 

can i get a copy of that?

 

Good for you.

 

My buddy just got 5% on his 350Z... It already has limited visibility, now it's next to impossible to reverse at night. Looks damn good though...

Good win on your part

 

im jealous.

 

Yeah its a bitch. I got 5% on the back windows of the Pathy and 20% on the fronts. I typically like a uniform look, but its a truck.

And yeah...reversing at night can be fun in unlit areas

 

thats pretty tight duude~luckyyy

 

congrats on beating your tints ticket

 

:tints:

 

Hopefully you don't run over anything.

 

I know it's TINT not TINTS haha. Thank god for the reverse camera.

 

 

best reply of this thread!!!

 

neat.

 

damn ur hella lucky man, I have to go to court for tinted windows, no front license plate, and "modified" exhaust. Dunno how I'm going to get out of it

 

I wish my doctor would hook me up with this.

 

do you still have this note? if yes scan it and post it up here so maybe we can use it lol

 

Tint, tints, who cares. Tint on multiple windows = tints?


Either way, props for getting a fake doctors note to work

 

Plural of Tint is TINT

Do you say "look at those Deers"?

 

I'm glad that you got around a ticket for which you should've been responsible for (since you did break the law) while putting that doctor in risk of breaching his ethical duties.



Better hope you never get in an accident with that tint on, cause if they other party realizes you have limo tint and sues you, they're gonna definitely be asking that doctor a few questions about the legitimacy of that "prescription."

 

Guess the vocab teacher shouldn't have skipped it in 3rd grade. Oh well, their are worse spelling errors to be made.

Car looks damn good by the way. Blacked out grille is all I would add

 

just roll the windows down when you see a cop, that what i do. Also have 5%...

 

nice
now you can get the windsheild tinted also
i need to go talk to my uncle/physician

 

Welcome to America, where people do (illegal?) things and find creative ways to getting around paying for them.

 

1) get an optometrist note
2) get a front bracket to put on your front plate
3) get it tested at a state referee, if your exhaust is under 95dB you're safe.

 

Under 95DB and having the cats intact and you're

 

Born and raised here if you're implying that I wasn't.

And fixed. Either way you lucked out, and no one was hurt, so meh.

That last bit of info I had in my previous post was actually advice I was giving you. One of our firm's clients was run over by some guy with full limo tint all around (including the windshield). We had him give us his "prescription note" and when we deposed the optometrist and asked for all medical records, the optometrist admitted that he never even saw the guy and just wrote the prescription as a favor. We joined the Optometrist as a defendant, and the case ended up settling for 7 figures. As for the optometrist, suspended license.

As for the other guy with the exhaust problem, definitely go get the sound levels tested. I ran a really loud (I mean really freaking loud) setup on my old STi and got a ticket (even though the exhaust was street legal). Took it to a state inspection site, and it was under 95db.

 

you sure got lucky with that ticket. my buddy tried to fight his tint ticked in court. after judge found out he still had tint on after the ticket, he gave him $2000 fine LOL. his lawer got it down to $500. they don't mess around in IL. I still got my shit tinted though. just roll those windows down when cop is coming up

Anyhow. if you show prescription to a cop it's not the end of it. cop can still give you a ticket. it's up to a judge to decide if you will still have to pay it. I was told so by a cop.

 

Thanks for the advice, but who the fuck puts limo tint on their WINDSHIELD? I can barely see out my front windows with 20% tint at night...that dumbass deserved to get sued.

But anyways, it's not like the optometrist I went to wrote me the prescription without me seeing him. I went there, he dilated my eyes, wrote a lot of stuff down into a file, and then told me (this is the truth) that my contact lenses did some damage to my cornea so I do have a very subtle sensitivity to light...enough for him to write me the prescription without it looking fishy.

Thanks though.

 

^ so its legit then! Good stuff!

 

what optometrist? i have the same problem

 

:blindfold

 

me too!

but on a serious note... my mom is an optometrist, but I got my ticket written off by her co-workers husband who is a CHP (just kidding a CHP would never do that)

 

I've been lucky with my tint, no problems so far. However, I took off my front plate a few weeks ago. I went to a friends house and parked on the street in front of his apartment. An hour later, I go outside to leave and I find a ticket for a $108 for no plate! I was pissed!! That street always has speeding cars flying by but some douchebag cop gives me a ticket for my plate?!?! My plate was in my trunk so the next day I put it back on, drove down to the police station in a small neighboring town, showed the ticket to the officer at the front desk. He didn't even bother going outside to verify I had the plate mounted. He just signed it off as verified and said, "Have a good day." I went home and took the plate back off and now I just have to mail in $10, which still sucks but not nearly as much as $108!

 

haha, doctors note.... PIMP
