I believe that there will be points deduction on my driver's license as well.

I have no plans to check with my dealer as to why they said my tint was going to be street legal, but now I received a ticket for it because I know that they don't care.

Last night, I checked the web about the tinting law in NYC, and it said "Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in" Nothing more I can say here - I will plea guilty and pay the fine.

My point of this thread is that I would like to find out whether you guys had any experience about getting a ticket for tinting. Did you guys decide to remove the tint afterward? If not, how do you guys prevent getting more tickets in the future?

Lastly, NYC's road condtion is terrible, whether it's on locals or on highways - tons of potholes. I tried whatever I could to prevent them, but I still ended up running over a number of potholes. Sometimes, I feel that the shocks aren't that great because the "bang" noise and the vibration from running over a pothole are just too strong. In addition, I just discovered another hard scratch near the gas tank door. My car is wrapped with clear bra almost everywhere, and my luck was so bad that something had to strike an area without the bra.
