I got pull over yesterday after work. Honestly I have no idea why he pull me over. I wouldn't understand if he pull me over when I'm in my S2000, but on my Lexus? He was right next to me for about 1.5 miles before he decide to go behind me and flash the light. After I got pull over he then ask me "license and registeration." "how long ago did you buy your car?" "what kind of car is this?" " Is it V8 cuz it says 350 in the back." I told him I bought mine 2.5 months and still haven't receive my license plate yet. My last car I didn't get mine till 6 months pass. He said I can get a violation ticket for that..... wtf. Anyway, he then told me I can't have tint window. I told him I just got them and they are really light ones. (I know you can't have tint in the front). Anyway, he then said to me that I work right next to where you live so I don't want to see these tint and put your license plate on asap. wtf!?!?!?!?!??!

Dame, it's a Lexus ok??? It's a luxury car. WTF is this happening to me?????

yeah, unfortunately I don't think Lexus are immune to no license plate or tinted front windows tickets.

WTF is right. Why exactly are you expecting special treatment... only people that drive cheap cars should get pulled over? He pulled you over because you have a dealer plate on a car that should have permanent plates on it. Dealer tags are typically only good for 30 days (it says right on the plate).

Did you get pulled over in Irvine area? I work there all the time and that sucks. Sorry to hear you got hassled like that, but if you dont get your plates soon, you should contact DMV so the cop doesnt bust you again.

bagwell

do you have chrome 20" wheels too or something???

kidding...(but really, I know a constable (friend) that specifically looks for cars that are heavily modded...so if you guys want attention with your mods that's what you'll get in Houston)

I am in the Bay Area and i got pulled over this last sunday for teh same tinted windows also. It was inthe middle of the night and i turned in front of the cop and he turned and followed me for a mile before he pulled me over. I already have my plates on the car. Him and his partner then had me pop my hood and they proceeded to check if i had installled anything. Thankfully i have a black powdercoat intake and i removed the LMS decal from the intake, they didn't see a thing.

It has been discussed here, ANY application of aftermarket tint is illegal here in California. You should have known that going in.

Also if you haven't got your plates yet, it's your responsibility to follow up with the DMV. I got mine in 2 weeks. Temp registration is good for 30 days.

Yup. I live here and I work around here too. I've saw 6 to 7 cops yesterday going home from Newport Beach.

I'm so used to cop pulling over modified cars etc... but for luxury car, plus I was driving very normal with my new Lexus.

Only thing you can apply to the fronts are a UV clear film in Cali.

Sounds like he just wanted to look at your car though........

True, any application on the front windows is illegal in California, rear tint is fine.

same thing happened to me and i got a tickect for that. i tinted my windows and i got tickect the next day. it was 35%, so I am not sure if it was too dark or watever.
