    first off. go to court for the tickets. chances are the judge will throw the second one out because it was so close to the first one. did the car have the tint on it when you bought it? if so then you may be able to get both tickets thrown out

    True story.

    On teh realz. Fight the tickets, ditch the tint and go with a legal %. Not gonna be worth keeping it gangsta in the long run.

    Werd. Never understood people's fascination with 5% tint. I had a buddy with double 2.5% on his F-150

    I've had 20% (illegal) on my side and back windows for over 4 years now and have never gotten a ticket *knocks on wood*. Although then my dad also has 20% on his 350z and he got a ticket after a couple of months.

    Either way, get lighter tint.

    I had double layer 2.5 on my honda when I used to drive it... Cops pulled me over at 10:30 at night in Griffin. The ticket was $85 I believe. They will not throw out the ticket for just buying the car. Unless maybe you were on the way home from where you bought it. I bought my honda with the dark tint on there and it didn't matter... Just like if you buy a car with no taillights and they pull you over. The ticket stands... IMO, I would put on the legal % and don't let the cops have a reason to pull you over. The tickets aren't worth it... also, the consequence isn't going to remain the same with repeating offenses... only gets worse...

    when i went to court in april for my speeding ticket, the guy that was infront of me was there for a tint ticket. he got it thrown out because he bought the car from a dealer that way. i guess it just depends on teh judge

    the best thing to do is keep it gangsta with the judge, when it ask you how you wanna plea, just say well that depends on how you can help me. hell it worked for me, got a ticket reduced from 225 to 75 bucks, and that was an improper start from stop ticket.

    Keep that sh!t gangsta,every car I own always had 20% or darker. If you must keep your tint do around 20% or higher and also do the windshield at about 30%-40% (This is very illegal by the way) that way you will still keep most of your privacy. To me I wouldnt lighten it up a little not to the legal limit, though. Then again some county's are just strict on tint and some arent. I don't know if its just me but that privacy is everything. You gotta love it!!

    This whole post is crap. And there is NOT ONE THING "Gangsta" about rebelling against the police with your window tint. And if you can't figure this dilemma out on your own, you have more issues than just window tint. And how is it that when you break the law (intentional of course) the cops are "harassing" you? Idiocy reeks more than the shiit in this post. Later, QD.

    LOL at keeping it "gangsta". Being able to see out the car is an important part of driving and "if keeping it gangsta" means anything different, then you are just stupid. Get legal tint and be done with it.

    there are chances that you can get both of those tickets dropped, not just one. Just take the 5% off before court, and the judge might drop both tickets.

    I thought about it and I'm going to slap 35% all around. And by the way people, you can see PERFECT out of 5% in the daytime. At night you can only see tailights/headlights, but that's all you NEED to see. For those of you who don't understand the obsession with 5%, I think it looks good, and I like my privacy. And if you don't know, my car is black on black, so the windows go with the theme.

    QD, I'm not rebelling against the law with my tint. And yes I broke the law intentionally, but that's like getting a ticket for drinking underage, jaywalking, etc...It's not a big deal at all, and it's pathetic that a cop has enough time to go out of his way to give me a ticket based on my tint. Tint laws, and such should not be in existnce. If someone wrecks because of window tint, they probably sucked so bad at driving they would've wrecked with or without it. The main reason it's illegal is because cops get scared when they walk up to a car with 5%. They need to man up, and get a life.

    Holy Mary Mother of QD. I didn't think that your last post could be topped. But you damn sure did come close. Is this a trick? Are you really smart but just playing dumb? Or are you really this stupid? What grade did you finish in middle school? Later, QD.

    Wow... the idiocracy is purely amazing. man up and get a life? It has a lot to do with the fact that if you were to pull a gun and/or shoot the officer he would have no way of knowing. Im sure it has happened and still does (drug dealers etc..) dont be a tool bag.

    next time you DON'T see any taillights and headlights, keep driving. maybe you'll drive off a cliff.

    So...

    1) you are not rebelling against the law, but broke the law intentionally?
    2) it's like getting a ticket for underage drinking?
    3) It's not a big deal, yet it's still against the law. And you are still crying about it?
    5) It's pathetic that a cop has enough time to do his job because YOU broke the law?

    of course, i would get lighter tint to reduce the risk of being hassled by it... but i have a question... what was the percentage they measured on each ticket? did they match? if they were off by a few % either way, id try to use that as evidence to say the meters are not reliable and who's to say your tint isnt in fact legal? they're not going to go outside teh courtroom just to look at your car then rejoin afterward lol. just a thought.
