nick06tc Reg'd: May 20, 2006 Vehicle Designer	I see so many people complain they get pulled over for tint. Then get mad. Everyone needs to get informed about the laws IN THEIR STATE. HERE IT IS: http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Consumer_Info/auto_statelaws.html

Work will continue pending on if i get the new toy i want or not. I will keep you all posted. UPDATE ON THE TUNE. It went ok but a few little issues that are causing my performance to be less than expected have shown themselves. Now I have to resolve them when I get the chance and it will be back to PTuning for the finishing touches.

armygirl718 Reg'd: Dec 19, 2007 Godlike Advisor	they say its legal in ny to have 35% tints. I got 35% tints and just in case didnt even touch the windshield and left it stock so what happens...I GET A TINT TICKET TODAY. he tells me my tints are 20%!!!! meanwhile you can see inside the car so its obvious its 35%! to top it all off he gave me 2 tickets...1 for the left window and 1 for the right :/ http://www.itsmyscion.com/armygirl718 http://www.myspace.com/navsegdamaskva

FrAnkRYzzO Reg'd: Oct 21, 2005 $upervillain for Hire	Please keep in mind that your windows have dye in the glass from the factory that will add to the tint making it darker then the actual percentage rating. I'm not sure exactly what the number is, but if you put 35% tint on your car and go measure the amount of light that passes through it will be less then 35%. Probably closer to 30%. So when a cop pulls you over, even though the tint you put on allows for the legally required amount of light to pass through, you've still inadvertently broken the law. That being said, the cop that gave Armygirl those tickets was a douche bag. That's just ridiculous. Even Zombies can Search... .............. .......................................................................Why Can't You?!?!?!

That's just ridiculous. want to know something worse? if it was just tint tickets he gave me ok. but before he gave it to me he realized who did the tints on my car and flipped out saying that that guy took away his job when he used to do tints!!! then he gave me the tickets! so its more like he gave em to me more b/c of who did em rather than the fact that they were on the car =[ talk about crap :/ http://www.itsmyscion.com/armygirl718 http://www.myspace.com/navsegdamaskva
