    Tinting

    What are the restrictions on tinting? My friend got pulled over last night because of his tinting. He has 10 days to peel it off or pay a $170 fine. Anything he can do or is he stuck taking it off?

    scrape it or pay it.

    70% is the legal limit. did they use the meter? i had 30% on my monte carlo and with the factory tint on the glass it registered 19% on the tint meter

    Good luck. I know people who've been pulled over for having just the back windows tinted. My last car had tint on it a couple of diff times due to being pulled over and the stang is tinted 20% all around. I guess you've to have luck on your side or something.lol

    i was stopped 2 months ago for tint, and the state policeman said to me that you can have the rear windows as dark as you want... but 70% otherwise...

    that sucks.. i'd fight it... you can fight it if you want, b/c i looked up the laws when i was stopped, and its a VERY VAGUE law... you could put up argument after argument and likely win
