OK, so it's not a great mod... I had to remove my front window tint due to a fix it ticket... but I did snap a nice pic of the car so I figured why not post it.....

My tint wasn't dark at all... 50% front and 35% rears. I thought this would allow me to get by with no fix-it tix... apparently not. The 50% tint is barely even tinted. Now I feel naked when I'm driving, LOL

geez you got pulled over for 50% tint?? what time of the day did you get pulled over cause it probably looks darker at nighttime. also what city did you get a ticket from cause some cities, the cops don't care that much about tint unless it's like limo tint all around.. haha

I'm getting my windows tinted soon, I was thinking about getting like 20% all around and 35% front.

50% tint isn't really that dark in the daytime. Oh well, what can you do. How long did it take to peel off the tint?

Police are pretty strict on the 118 and in the Simi Valley/Moorpark area.
