25$ once you get it signed off about 150$ without correcting it but make sure to keep your ticket in your glove box so they don't cite you again.

Oh, that's not too bad. I was expecting something like a $250-$300 fine. That actually makes me feel a little better.

Its not too bad but I'm going off my ticket i got in AUG and the difference between with correction and without correction is where i got cost of it. But I need to remove my tint so if you go that route let me know how you do it since I will screw it up for sure!

If I get it removed I will just go to where I got it installed (Omega Tintwerks). I think I remember Vince telling me that he would remove it for free if I got a ticket.

SB 101 just before Whipple. I am running 20% tint. I should have just taken 280, 101 was crawling with cops.

Yea that doesn't work. I got pulled over by a ***** CHP officer who was giving me an exhaust ticket and since I was already driving with the windows down she thought I had tint and was gonna make me roll my windows up to see. Until she wisely looked at the rest of the windows of my car and realized I haven't tinted any. She would have definitely given me one if they were tinted though.

you should only get written up if you don't roll them down when an officer approaches your car, because thats the only reason its a law, for officers safety i believe.

and if thats the case, rear dash window tint should be illegal, so a cop can see if the drivers are switching seats to avoid DUI, reaching for a weapon etc...
