got pulled over.. OMFG it happened AGAIN!!!!

[Mustanger]

that will be a sad sad day i mean ppl are jobless and starving and being evicted from thier homes hence most of them resorting to crimes but yet our government is worried about how dark we want our windows man that will be a sad day

Well not exactly...I just this year added tint to my wife's car... one shade darker than legal 'cause it looked so good with her color combo... thinking if SO many cars are doing it it would be no problem and looking through the sample during the day I saw nothing wrong with the visibility. BUT at night I discovered that as long as we were in lighted areas I could see fine...however with no background lighting I cannot see a thing! It is extremely difficult to backup or manuever safely! A week later 3 kids were darting through traffic & I only saw them at the last minute as they cut in front of a headlight I slammed on the brakes barely avoiding turning into them!

So, it definitely is a safety hazard & I will change it out soon. You cannot argue that point at all, now couple the lack of nightime visibility fror the driver with the Officer's safety approaching a car he cannot see into & you can understand the reason for the law can't you? Just driving with the window down at night is not reasonable here in Oregon in winter & is not going to happen 100% of the time for anyone anyway, so that is not a good solution. Put yourself in the Officer's shoes for a second...you are a good guy just doing your job & want to go home to see your wife & little boy tonight like everyone...how do YOU feel walking up to a dark car on a lonely road that you cannot see what the occupants are doing? I bet there would be a bit of fear & doubt going through your mind..."Is this the night?" " Is this the stop I get shot?" C'mon...give the cops some slack & if you choose to break the law just accept the results like a man! I have deserved EVERY ticket I ever got in my life (many) but I can see their side of things too. Good luck...

well i understand the night stuff but our police officers have no reasonfor needing to see inside the car as they have a scanner that scans the whole car from thier car and it tells them where all heat is in the car hence if there are four ppl oin the car he will know i still think its just another way to meet quota without a reason and many police officers believe it is not a hazard to them if the fbi and dertectives can have it 5 percent plus now intown our cop cars windows are tinted because they complain of headaches from riding around all day in the sun we should be ableto have the same tint as them and i got used to darker windows while living in oklahoma now when i drive it feels weird and i get headaches from the sun as well.

Grammar Fail.

It's State law. And it's for the protection of officers, as people have already said. Which i don't have a problem with. The people that seem to have the most problem with police pulling for tint are people that made the choice to illegally tint their windows. It's kind of reaping what you've sown. Police already seem to look at our cars, why give them more reasons to pull us over?

In Va there's a 7% variance in legal tint. Meaning 50% is legal up front, but it can go down to 43% with no problems.

its wasnt illegal when i had them tinted when i lived in oklahoma now i move to iowa and they make me change something i paid alot of money for and on top of that my cars are not even registered here so therefore i am legal by oklahoma standards im only here for 6 mo. to start up a business and then im going back but yet i have to make my car legal to drive in iowa.

[OnyxCobra]

What kind of major mods do you have to require a 3.5" exhaust? Chances are that's wayyy overkill.

 

[mygreengt]

Jesus dude is there anything else u dont like about it?

 

[Shifty Powers]

rockstar.. there is a reason companies dont make bigger than a 2.5'' exhaust for our car. Technically with that large of an exhaust you are robbing yourself of power, not freeing it up.

so sorry unless your running a TT setup with over 1000hp.(guys running 800bhp and dont have that big of an exhaust). that big is not needed and wont help you see any more gains then the 2.5'', you might actually see less.


sorry for the thread hijack

Wow. Dude. Do you have ANY idea what punctuation is? That was seriously hard as f*ck to read.

Anyway. Your cops have thermal imaging in their police cars? Have you seen this yourself or just talking out your ass? Also, you do realize most agencies do not, in fact, have quotas? They may have to make a certain amount of "contacts" but that does not mean "tickets." That's just to make sure they aren't sitting around their whole shift (maybe just most of it). Also, just because they know there are "x" amount of people in the car, how do they know what they have in their hands when they walk up to the car? Do they have special gun detecting powers, too?

It's not that I don't like it, in fact from what I can see of it in the pics you posted it looks like a really nice custom job. It's just people with high HP applications usually run 3" exhaust, 3.5" is huge.


I do recall a company or two making 3" exhaust for our cars but it's not very common to see it, and they are a good deal more expensive.

Agree. One of my buddies makes approx. 450whp in his Cobra, still has 2.5" pipes. Any bigger is just to say you have em.

lol. I digress... Now back to your regularly scheduled thread..

So has the creator of this thread taken his window tint off yet?

 

[MyViewGS]

Seriously, alot of you need to read up on your local and state laws on tint. Yes, it varies from state to state. Also, understand that case law dictates perameters for prosecution, not hearsay. My opinion is based on Florida laws and YES I am a cop. Window tint in this state is under vehicle saety equipment violations, therefore, an officer can make you raise a window to meter the level of tint just like he/she can ask you to blow the horn or work the wipers. Simply rolling down the window does not negate the violation. And, (as far as Florida is concerned) it doesn't matter in what state your car is registered, if you drive on Florida roads the you're expected to follow Florida laws. Each state developes its own variation for whatever the legislators feel the people need (blah, blah, blah..... bullshit). In short, (I know, too late) if your tint isn't within the legal limit then you can blame yourself, take the ticket, pay a fine, correct the problem. Or, keep the illegal tint, pay the fine and quit complaining. Im not trying to be an "asshat" ..... Im just offering suggestions. Good luck with your decision.
