Put on my tint less than 2 months ago, and I get pulled over for illegal tint. From my calculations, i should've been barely legal at about 28% (40% tint layer on top of a layer of 70%), but the tint meter showed 18%.

My choices are to either remove the tint and not have to pay the citation, or leave it on and pay $115. At the same time, it'd cost about $100 to remove the tint. What should I do?

Which ever one YOU want to do. i paid them for about 5 years till i got a bunch then i swithed to legal tint. im not happy about it though

pigs! lol hate them harassing me for tints. lol i refuse to take the tints off lol, it looks so grandma/grandpa ish without them.

i just kept them on and tried not to look "suspect" if you know what i mean.

Hmm, 25% is legal here in TX for the fronts and the backs can be completely blacked out.

Do what I did. Get yourself a set of aftermarket or oem glass from a junkyard that has no tint. Then whenever you get a ticket just swap the glass, go get it inspected, then come home and put your tints back on. Not difficult or expensive to do.

That's smart, but I don't have the time or effort to do it.

I'm thinking I'll just remove the tint on the front windows, get it inspected, then put the legal 35% on. The backs are all about 15%, but I just can't risk another ticket on a college budget.

When you see the LEO just roll all your Windows down. That's what I did when I lived in South Florida.

Yea I kept paying the fine for years then I just got sick of getting pulled over and bit the bullet. It's like they're picking on you sometimes because they got nothing else to do. LAPD man, I can go on and on about these dudes

I changed my mind. First, I'm going to try and get a tint exemption for a visual impairment. If that doesn't work, then I'm going to do the plan I stated above.

That sucks. What did you try using as an excuse to get the exemption?

I told my eye doctor I was having problems with the sun while driving and hate wearing sunglasses. I'm sure he knew the deal but wrote the prescription anyway.

Btw, 35% tint on stock glass tested at 27% on my car if that makes any difference in your decision trying to stay legal.

i used photo-phobia which i do have worse than most people but i told him the sun was causing me headaches. dr sent me to a optimologist who sent me to a neurologist and noone would sign off on mine so i said screw it
