Yeah it's $160.00 a pop here. ( 40.00 fine + 120.00 court cost )I could strip it off, get an inspection and throw some new tint on it for that, so there's no cheap route really //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Tinting just the two front windows isnt going to cost a lot.......

50-60 bucks maybe? Just peel the fronts off yourself, go get it inspected. Then stop at a tint shop on your way back and have them do the fronts in 35.

Problem solved, and for a measly 60 dollars instead of a 160.

that is why it is legal

and why you won't get any more tickets

Only the front 2 windows are illegal. I can strip those off myself. Go get my truck inspected. Have the ticket taken care of without having to pay a fine, then have them retinted. What I'm basically asking is, when I do this, should I put it back on dark, or go legal with 35% on the front windows? When the cop metered me today they were 18% on the front.

my blazer has 12% on my front side windows. I almost got a ticket for it not too long ago, but only got a warning. I bought it from a used car dealer that way, and they still going to point fingers at me. o.0 lol o well

OK tried to get it inspected today. Rolled up there with the windows down and the fuse pulled out for the power windows/locks. About 20 minutes later the guy doing my inspection comes up to me smiling and says. I fixed your windows, someone pulled the fuse out...and btw your window tint failed the inspection also....lol well at least I tried. I paid him, and he told me I had 30 days to make the tint legal and bring it back in and he would throw a sticker on it....

Anyone have tips for me on stripping tint? I've never had to do it.

I have double 5% on the back windows, 5% on the front windows, a 10" double 5% strip, and my whole windshield in 30%. Call me lucky but I have not got pulled over once for it in 4 months. I think Florida police are a little less strict about it because they realize how ****ing hot it gets without it. Also, my buddy talked to a cop and he said he only gives tickets for tint if he already had pulled them over for something else.

What should I do?

Abide by the law?

im 5% all the way around. i pay the ticket's cause it's not worth my time to re-tint my car, even tho it's free for me.

i have only got one ticket in the 1 year i have had the tint on.
