I'm in NC and it all depends on the cop you get pulled by... or the mood he/she is in i should say. If you do happen to get a ticket, i believe they are $290... But all you'd have to do is pull the tint and it will get dismissed.Ok I have a couple more questions. If I get 5 over 5 in the back, will that make much of a difference when viewing other windows from the outside? - you know, less light being inside and all. Also, does anyone know if NC tint tickets are fines or fix-it tickets? I've pretty much decided on 15-20%% on the side windows and either a 5% strip on the windshield or 50 over the entire windshield.
