    Default Tint Police

    Sitting at the gas station today, and this chick in a civic gets pulled over. The cop comes over and pulls out the tint guage and as he writes her a ticket, his buddy pulls another over as we're leaving..... not playing around about that tint.

    I think very dark tint makes a car look cheap.

    I've always liked Mercedes blue and tint that's no more than 35%.

    It makes driving hard if it's darker.

    That's what that little lever on your rear view mirror is for

    Mine read 13% a few weeks ago, it's the first time a cop has said anything in 4 years. No ticket, but I'm supposed to have 25%

    lol my brotha got pulled over he just bought his car.But the guy who had the car did not have the tint all the way.So like at the top of the window its regular,the cop told us.He couldnt test it because the tester only reads the top of the window.The cop just told my brotha i Know its too dark.So you got 7days to take it off. HeHe I like tint but dont have any,just have fun rolling up the window when ppl look at me dumb

    Had 20 % on all of my vehicles except my 240 and never been hassled about it. However I don't ever get a strip, that attracts cops and also trucks generally don't get pulled over as much as cars.

    Tint's good for cars that look cheap on the outside, but end up having $$$ on the interior. I've seen the most dead looking Tercel exterior wise known to man. Death tint, couldn't see in. Good reason too, 7k sound system + he had an ps2 sitting in the back seat for like 3 months. He had the car for two years, no alarm, never had anything stolen. But, he also lived in suburban Forsyth County.(13th weathiest county in USA) Crime rate's not exactly on par of ATL.

    gyea, that was me that got pulled over. The officer didnt give me a ticket since I already got one from Suwanee. My tint is supposed to be 5% but when I got pulled over, the meter read 3%. This is the third time I got pulled over already... Ima leave the back but Ima take off the front period.

    If the cop can't see you through the window tint that means you could be pointing a gun right at him and he wouldn't even know.

    lol... the funny part was another civic got pulled over seconds after I did. I just think they're fed up with it. I goto school in dekalb county and Doraville never seems to harass me at all. But oh well, I guess driving with no tint in the front wont be that bad... I'll miss the tint tho... Damn sun be beaming at me and Im short too!
