    your lucky at least you can tint the front windows! In Saskatchewan you are only allowed to tint windows that are behind the driver.

    did you pay some one to install it? if you did they should fix it or get your money back. this is what happens when people don't follow state or local laws.

    What would they do if I tinted my car and drove it down there? Do you think they'd ticket me for it?

    the fronts are 35% it looks kinda dark in the morning and at night....but in daytime you can see in the car very good....i got pulled over at 7:30am so the sun was just coming up and the tint looked dark.

    yeah i got a fix it ticket.


    i dont think the guys had a problem they did a good job....and yeah this is my 2nd week with the tint....i loved it cuz it keeped the car cool and now the sun is not on your face burning you up.

    I think not because your car is registered in a different state with different laws.

    Re: Got My Tint

    damn that sucks.. 35% is a lil dark but not too bad. if you decide to get the fronts tinted again go with 50% or lighter. i think the fact that you have a dark interior can make it look a lot darker too.. the same exact tinted glass looked way darker my lx with maroon interior than my lxi with the tan


    and yes if your car is tinted and you're from out of state, you can get a ticket here.

    yeah i got a professional tint shop to do it since i know the guy....i got one hell of a deal but yeah this is only my 2nd week with it and i didn't even get to enjoy summer with it.....he stop me cuz my mom works in a very rich neighborhood ...you see benz with darker tint....very high end cars...so my car did not flowed in good. plus i think the cop just wanted an excuse to get me...i have insurance, license and registration...cuz im legit....so i bet that kinda pissed him off.
