Got pulled over for my 20% tinted windows about 3 weeks ago in Berkeley.

Ticket just came in at $208. (less than I expected actually)

Just venting I guess, or giving everyone a heads up.

 

 

^ haha yup... i got one of those for my 20%s about 2 months ago. last few words from the chp was "oh i have a 2004 TL" Lol...

 

I just got tinted windows/no front plate last week.

 

isnt it a fix it ticket... 25 bucks if you fix it, no?

 

back in 2009 when i got a tint ticket for my TL it was a fix it ticket. have they changed the rules?

 

i believe fix its are 35 now

 

My wife just got one for her civic 2 months ago driving to Fresno. Luckily we have a SJPD officer in the family and one as a friend lol. We always get it written off without having to change anything. What i normally do now is if there's a cop nearby, I roll all my fronts down. SJPD is pretty chill about tint but anywhere else, i cannot say.

 

That's what I love about SJPD and most other surrounding areas. They're generally cool about stuff like that. I've had a motorcycle cop downtown in SJ turn his head towards my bumper (no front plate) and give me the "I notice, but I'll let it go" look and drive off, but so far I've never been pulled over for no front plates. My new ride... front side windows have dark tint (30%?), came with the car when I bought her used so I do that too... roll down windows without trying to look obvious.

How much is it to get tints removed for the front side windows? Seems like a pain in the stinker to do yourself.

 

i believe the place i went to get my windows tinted charges 35 for each window for removal and retint so 70 total.
