well i finally got pulled over today for my window tint. its a $91.00 fine. 15% tint. its a non moving violation. does this mean i have to pull the tint? or can i just pay the ticket off and hope not to get caught next time?

if i remember right. i can just pay the fine and be okay. i dont have to proove its off the car.. and this doesnt give any points right?

 

wrong forum.

 

i agree... just thought it should be in an "appearence" forum...

 

should be in RX8 Discussion or possibly your regional forum.

if you can just pay the ticket do it. if they never said you had to prove it why bother taking it off?

 

I thought 15% was legal in florida? But in NY they are just fix it tickets which means you can just take it off, and not pay a ticket, or just pay the ticket

 

sounds goood. i didnt think i had to take it off. just pay the ticket and get on with it. no 15% isnt legal in florida. i think its 25 or what ever he said. i know its not 15. lol. but i knew i got and payed for 15% front to rear on my windows to begin with. i cant really complain cause he got me for speeding 57 in a 45. but he let me go on that. il take window tint anyday over that. lol. thanks guys.

 

legal is 35% in FL which is what i have. no tint is legal in VA where i live but they haven't said anything yet.

 

HAHAh you just jinxed yourself bro. lol good luck. i have been stopped twice. once in VERO and today. he prob wouldnt have checked my tint if i wasnt speeding. said he laserd me twice at 57. but my K40 never went off. its been tinted for over a year at 15%

 

legal in fl is 60% in front, 35 in the back.

I got 35 all around and its a little too dark at night, but easily dark enough noone can see in.

 

You guys need to quit spreading false info!

Wonder how many of us actually have that sticker on the door jam?

 

VA is 50 front sides/35 rear sides & rear. That's what I have. IIRC jjwash45 got ticketed for 35% all round, but they ended up going after the tint shop since he paid for VA legal.

I had 35% put on my side windows and rear windshield in VA. The tint shop said that it tested at 28% because of the factory tint, no issues so far

 

i didnt care what the state says about tint. i paid for under the table 15% all around and 20% on my full front window. so i cant be pissed for finally getting a ticket.

just wondering if it had to be removed to pay the fine. or i just pay fine. its a non moving vilation.

 

Really not sure on that one.............did you ever find out?
It possible that they may make you come in and show them, but wouldn't that be a fix it ticket.............and it should spell that out on there?

 

i think fix it tickets you have to show them.... im just going to tell them the car is down south in a shop getting work done. and i have to pay this ticket!!! lol.

 

A window tint ticket in FL? Theres no tint limit in FL, you can go as dark as you want.

 

I've wondered how much additive effect there was with the base tint. I had assumed 5% as a seat of the pants guess.

 

Wrong.........might want to try reading a little bit before spouting off.

 

**** the po po

lol
