GEEEEEEEEEEEE..This is starting to worry me. I had painted my friends civic pearl white and got pulled over for tint pretty much 2 miles away from my school where i painted it. He gave me a ticket where all i had to do is show that it was removed..i went to court and they let me go. Now i'm really worried about my IS. I got it tinted ALL around even the front windshield. Should i be nervous?

Well I hope you can fix that or get a lower fine for that ticket..but $440 is rediculous

Im not sure... lol iced coffees are a nice touch to my bad day... jp but he told me 27% is legal? for some reason i was thinking 20% but i guess im just gana have to rip it out... dang a lot of wasted time and money... and the thing im wondering is why can unmarked cars have illegal tint but domestic cars cannot... just kinda puzzled bout that

go to an eye doctor, get him to sign off that you have sunlight probs and he recommends that you have your car tinted.

I think its 35% for the driver/pass(front) but no way in hell is tinting your front windshield unless you have some kind of doctors note. The thing is. I got my tint done at Toyota dealership. =X

You seem surprised. You didn't think you would get caught eventually.

Make up an excuse like you panicked or forgot that you Rx for it. It is normal to panick when pulled over by cops. right?

It can be worthwhile showing up at court, after all he might not show up and then you could get the ticket tossed for no evidence. At least you might be able to pled for a lower fine or a fixit option if it exists in SC.
