Hey guys...i just can't stand not having my tint. It makes the truck look so much better and i like having the extra privacy. Should i attempt to get the windows re-tinted?
Also..if you get pulled over, and just pay the fine can your tint stay on?

Usually tint fines are paid after proof of removal.
Ive had to re-tint on various cars more than a few dozen times.

 

Well I don't know how the tint laws in PA but in MD if you get pulled over its just a repair ticket so you have to take it off then go to the DMV show them it's off and your good to go theres no fine. on that note I got my tint done at a place that offers a warranty ( cost 60$ extra) so if I get pulled for tint I take my truck back to them they take it off and after I show the DMV its off I go back and they put it all back on for like $20.

BTW that place it called D&L window tinting

 

yeah just get to know a tint guy, someone who does it on the side for extra cash and just slip him a few bucks to write you a recipt saying he removed it

 

I dont know the laws in your state. But in California, if you get a tint ticket then it is a "fix it ticket". The fine is $12 IF you show proof the window tint was removed and have the ticket signed by an officer. Most non-professional tint guys around here will actually give you a removal reciept with your tint job. You just fill in the date later. However, if you elect to pay the whole fine ($240) then there is no removal required. If you get pulled over the next day, it is another ticket, but that is the price you pay for looking cool.

When they pulled me over for my tint 2% all around they cut it front and back (they claimed you cant go as low as you want out back, which is WRONG) they put X's in the tint. and i got a 500 dollar fine. They never asked if it came off or not, but the big x's in my tint brought it right off. my tint sucks now i have factory out back and a nice see through 30% up front. I also got pulled over at night

 

i say retint
and aha devin why didnt you ever say anything about the sig i made for you

 

retint it.. i just had mine taken off for a tint ticket i got about 2 weeks ago. got the ticket signedoff yesterday and now im getting it back on.. its just so damn bright in my truck without the tint.

 

what % are you guys putting in the back of your trucks? I can only get 30% up front which sucks. What would look good? The prices are crazy too like 250 bucks for the two rear doors and a split rear window.

 

I think if you pay the fine, you don't have to remove it, depends on what the ticket says I think. But you'll probably **** the cop off and he'll keep stopping you for it if you leave it on. You might want to just try 35% tint instead, it's better than nothing, and might not draw as much attention to the cop to stop you. That's what I put on mine and no stops yet...knock on wood.

 

I'm mostly going to re-tint...i just cant take it anymore. All my buddies are getting theirs tinted and i was the first one with it. It just completes a truck...
JB..hah thats neat..if only it wasnt so blurry i'd prob use it hah thanks tho

 

I have 5% on all the glass except the windshield, and I guess it depends on where you live. 35% is legal where I live.

 

Well im going to wait until april to get it re-tinted...the weather will be good by then for rolling down the windows and i'll be almost out of school so the local cop wont be waiting for me anymore.

 

I got mine done for $145 and i have 5 on the back to and rear window, and 10 on the front two. I also have a brow that is 5. I dont know what i would do without the tint, i love it! I had to drive my dads tahoe for a week and it sucked cause all it has is factory tint. Theres nothing like being stuck in traffic with see through windows and the sun directly in your face

 

thats no lie! I should look into getting the tint done somewhere in dallas, i had never thought of that.
