Request pic of your tintless ride

Tmaccus · 05-17-2015, 10:02 PM

I just got a ticket for my 5% all around and now I'm thinking about paying the fine and keeping them or taking them all off. Do any of you guys have pics of your ride not tinted and lowered so I can decide of what do to? Thanks guys!

Douche · 05-17-2015, 10:06 PM

Decide what to do or use the pictures as if your own car's to say you've removed the tints?

bomorgan123 · 05-17-2015, 10:10 PM

How much is the fine?

ThatRWD · 05-17-2015, 10:18 PM

photochop or google?

No, to decide if the non tinted cars look good for my taste so I can decide to keep the tint on my car.

ZhengHai · 05-17-2015, 11:01 PM

Had to remove mine. Never bothered to put it back on. Hope it helps

bimmette · 05-17-2015, 11:22 PM

Just tint it again but maybe not 5%.

CantCatchMe · 05-18-2015, 12:05 AM

Keep it and pay the fine lol. Who cares if you like it!

pratan158 · 05-18-2015, 01:53 AM

I feel ur pain but just pay them and move on. That is what i did with mine.

BMDoublYou · 05-18-2015, 08:05 AM

No tints at night:

Tintless day:

I got 30% ceramic tints on, perfect for me! Go with a lighter tint

Underground6t9 · 05-18-2015, 08:47 AM

No tint looks clean.

brewnami · 05-18-2015, 08:54 AM

Not sure what the tint laws are in your area, but I would just go with legal tint. Here in TX it's 25% for the fronts and you can spray paint your rears if you want. I couldn't imagine not having tint here though.

Welcome to NBA Jam · 05-18-2015, 09:23 AM

I would like to get 35%.

Fundguy1 · 05-18-2015, 09:30 AM

I have less tint, 15% all around. Not as conspicuous and only one ticket from a cop who was being graded by his supervisor. Depending on your location local law enforcement will react differently to tint. I'm in Florida. Everybody has illegal tint. In NYC you're asking for trouble.
On the iPad now. I can see you're in Central Jersey now. I lived there for 35 yrs. they're tint Nazis there. I'd get a lighter tint or just call any tickets for tint I get part of the cost of looking cool like driving without a front license plate.

Workdawg · 05-18-2015, 09:49 AM

The angle of the pic and the lighting will really affect how dark the tint looks, as well as the color of the car.

I just got the windows tinted on my LeMans blue E92 on Saturday and took this yesterday at about 4:30pm, when it was overcast. Would you believe that's only 35% tint?

Edit, for comparison here's an older pic with similar angle and lighting, no tint:

paco89 · 05-18-2015, 11:56 AM

If ANYTHING go with 50% man, but 35% would be my choice... 5% its too dark for me IMO...

Wow your car looks hot

kdbryce · 05-18-2015, 02:19 PM

5%?!

Is it even possible to drive at night?

Lol I used to have 15% and I thought that was too dark

On the same boat

KiwiRD · 05-18-2015, 03:26 PM

Here's mine. Really depends on the light angle as to how the windows look.

mex2309 · 05-18-2015, 03:34 PM

whoa 5%. I have 15% and I think they're way too dark. Have to pull down the windows at night if I'm backing out. I'd do 35% next time.

I've gotten 2 tint tix in 2 1/2 years. I pay the fine and just be super vigilent w/ cops. See a cop...roll all your windows down.

Nitrousbird · 05-18-2015, 03:44 PM

I'm waiting until I get pulled over for it. Mine was done by a previous owner - not all that good of a job done. Sadly only 50% is legal here, mine is in the 20-30 range I'm guessing. I wouldn't want it any darker.
