im not asking you to break the law dumbass, tell me some shady inspectors that you know will
10/14/2008 2:17:10 PM
Is there really that much difference in 5% that it's worth going thru all this trouble?\/ Yeah, that's what I figured...[Edited on October 14, 2008 at 2:25 PM. Reason : .]
10/14/2008 2:18:44 PM
trying to ride that thin line between shallow and deepnext time go with 35%
10/14/2008 2:24:14 PM
well the thing was that when i got it done i told the ppl that i wanted 20, i was young and dumb at this point in my life but i have really grown accoustomed to my dark windows over the years, and yes it is worth those few percent, and honestly its not that hard, i just wanna do it somewhere where they wont want my whole paycheck.....i think it is actually 26% i just realized that the limit was 35%...i thought it was 32%
10/14/2008 2:29:13 PM
10/14/2008 2:47:59 PM
i must be backwards... if the limit is 35, shouldnt you be ok with 30?im assuming its out of 100% tint=black as zxappeal?
10/14/2008 2:58:38 PM
no, you have it backwards, the percentage is light emitted, so the lower the number the darker the tint.....example: 5% is known as limo tint
10/14/2008 3:03:58 PM
ohok.well in that case.
10/14/2008 3:06:52 PM
the proper term here is "negro"
10/14/2008 3:09:34 PM
yea my tint is a little bit too negro
10/14/2008 3:39:20 PM
negro to confirm
10/14/2008 3:57:18 PM
the law says that the limit is 35% +/-3%. this is to make up for the light blocked by clear glass.so it's really 32%mine checks 31.5% every fucking year.
10/14/2008 4:01:37 PM
Do they try to hassle you about it or do they just pass it?
10/14/2008 4:20:29 PM
my first car had 5% when i bought it... my dads trick was to find the fuse for the windows... go to the station with the windows down and the fuse pulled... you aint gotta have no side windows to pass
10/14/2008 4:20:42 PM
That don't work no more.
10/14/2008 4:21:28 PM
damn really? what if you really dont have windows?
10/14/2008 5:24:20 PM
Now the trick is to take your doors off and screw a mirror onto the a pillar with some wood screws.

Looks like it's time to buy a heat gun.
10/14/2008 9:24:34 PM
the limit is 35. margin or error is 3. so 32 is the legal limit 32% nothing lesscant be blue or reflective (mirror) either
10/14/2008 10:46:24 PM
/\ can't be any color other than 'smoke'....
10/14/2008 11:00:38 PM
correct. unless its from the factory.
10/14/2008 11:02:05 PM
no heat gun for me, i guess i will have to find other ways around it....maybe some help from less racist ignorant fucks...for everyone that answered intelligently...thanks
10/14/2008 11:47:39 PM
not racist. I love all kindsa people. I hate all kindsa folks too.Ask tripleD4u and Jeepman and greeches what happened to that whitey honkey cracker redneck bastard that decided to show his face in the garage the other night. Color don't make a damn to me. Attitude does.ya obviously haven't been around long enough to enjoy some of the inside humor.
10/14/2008 11:57:20 PM
in other word.....GTFO
10/15/2008 12:06:24 AM
the worst thing about mine is it's 35% paper and with the glass it checks 31.5%. i guess dodge just used darker-than-normal glass on mine or something. the tint was on there when i bought it. what pisses me off the most is seeing someone whose shit is obviously illegal driving around when i (well, actually the guy who had it before me) am trying to obey the law and i'm the one getting hassled. whatever, it's good to have a friend with an inspection station. no i will not tell you where.

@Saab,I now see that and I should have thought twice about posting here. I have seen it in other forums I just thought since I was not shitting at the mouth that I would get some amnesty...like i was saying in my other post, it doesn't bother me that people are quite mean and mostly racist, it just bothers me that you have something to say (usually negative) about nothing the original post even fell under. Otherwise:Some of you people need to get a life, and your talk doesn't bother me, it motivates me. So thank you.

10/16/2008 1:59:07 AM
what we have here is a failure to communucate of tww personas to pay attention to the ways of the garage.how to win the garagians' hearts:1. post humbly2. ask good questions3. get good feedback4. make friends5. ...then you can post stupid shit and not get flamedand obviously coming here to try to get around inspections and stuff for most any reason is an auto-flame. hell BBR's busted my ass before about emissions equipment
10/16/2008 8:12:06 AM
well thank you for the rules of the way hurley
10/16/2008 8:40:59 AM
Not rules, just accepted etiquette. Perhaps you should attend charm school.
10/16/2008 8:41:40 AM
this shit is still going on.
10/16/2008 8:47:45 AM
etiquette on my part, yea thats not how this post went bad....i am not the person that needs to go to charm school...some people are just mean spirited and want to talk shit for absolutely no reason at all....those are the people that need charm schooland yes unfortunately it is still going on
10/16/2008 8:50:26 AM
^perpetuation posts get no lovelet's call it a "convention" of sorts. kinda like GD&T
10/16/2008 9:01:55 AM
Let's see how long it will go on...Etiquette rule number one: Don't come in here asking for illegal advice. The cops can and do check this site out, and most of us have earned enough speeding tickets and equipment violations so far that we try to keep it on the D/LO. It's like walking up to us and asking for some more of that good pot while there's a cop standing by. And keep in mind...this is a question that has been asked no less than a couple of dozens of times (tint, I mean; that and cheating NC's inspection system). The vast majority of us consider it RUDE to say the least when some stranger comes in here (1) asking a question that's been asked dozens of times, and is even asked by strangers in person when they find out we are car guys, and (2) trying to get around a legal constraint that most of us have just accepted as part of being a car guy...and in the grand scheme of things is a total waste of time to piss in the wind battling.I guarantee if you went on a ham radio site and asked if anybody knew a way to transmit on ham bands without the proper licensure or at a higher-than-legal peak envelope power or hotrod a CB to put out more than legal power...you'd not only get flamed, you'd get burned to a crisp.
10/16/2008 9:02:12 AM
rule number one: whats wrong with asking for illegal advice if all you do is keep it on the D/L....thats why i put my email up there, im not asking anyone to name off 6 places in the board...i have more sense than thatrule number two: it's fairly easy to beat the system, i just thought that some of you people on here would be halfway helpful and lend a helping hand (even more so since you know about cars)rule number three: why do you all try to act holier than thou like you have never broken the law, or not going to break the law, or cheat the system for that matter?to wrap it up: im not trying to battle, i just don't understand why people "pick fights", rude or not you dont HAVE to say anything, if what im saying you don't like....just keep your mouth shut and move on....but i guess since im not a moderator of a some kinda board...i dont understand the purpose of flaming...as i see it now, its just to make yourself look good b/c ur lacking somewhere else
