Pretty sure this is the correct percentages.

sucks. but im telling you that theory of "you dont get pulled over until you talk about it" is 100% true.


front plate, exhaust, window tint, all in one ticket. $600 bucks.

50% tint is like damn near having clear windows. I'll pass on wasting my money.

I got pulled about a month ago and they told me 40% on the fronts... I'm sure they say whatever they feel like at the time though, bastards

i have 35% all around. it was an overcast day, which made it look super dark. i can't be mad about that one.

this one i find stupid. my front plate is mounted on the front, and i've been pulled over lots like this and no cop has ever mentioned it. this is just kinda like a pain in my ass. i'm sure a warning would have sufficed! lol.

also, when he first walked up to my car/front bumper i had my seat belt on, but then took it off to get my registration/license. when he came back he goes "you normally wear your seat belt right?". i was like yeah man, you just walked past me and i had it on.

But, what is more stupid is the fact that my driver side bumper light doesn't work. and my lights were on so he OBVIOUSLY saw that but goes for something as random as "obscure front plate".

oh well, just gonna take some time to fix it.
