Give me some ideas

[kevinkris]

I got pulled over 3 times in the last 3 months. I don't know why but I feel that these state has bad police officers. FYI, my car driven in the weekends only, so count how many weekends we have gone so far this year Vs.how many times I got pulled over.

My last problem is I got pulled over because of my 15% tint and no front license plate. Thanks, this is a warning and I have 3 weeks to fix it after arguing that the car came from WA state. As far that I know, in WA state, police can't stop me just because the illegal tint and no front license plate, except I did something wrong before.

My question is, should I take off the tint? you probably know how a car w/o tint looks like. or should I pay the fine but it goes to my record and being aware that police can tow my car right away the next time they see me.

The second one is about my front license plate, can i glued the front license plate and take it off right after the inspection? or should I drill 2 holes in my bumper?

Thanks guys for the help, so far I couldn't go to the meet, my last class ends 8 o'clock in Wed.

gonna miss this appearance though

Holy giant picture batman. I editted your post to make it a link so it doesn't mess up the size of the forums for everyone.

I'm running with 35% tint and no front plate, never had an issue. 15% is a lot darker than 35 though... and only 50% is legal. I think the car definitely looks a lot better with some tint, maybe get it redone at 35% instead of 15?

What's this about the car being towed though? I'm not aware of any law that lets them tow you just because of a couple tint tickets. Jesse (Morrie's Salesguy) was saying he'd get a number of tickets a year on his old prelude and just always paid them, no other issues.

Oh, and the front plate. You might be able to get away with gluing it on temporarily, but it probably depends on the cop who checks it out. I'd avoid drilling holes if ya can. There are some plate mounting brackets online that don't require drilling.

Put on a front plate and lighten up the tint. Streak in the MOA at least twice.

I was pulled over 3 times in my speed6 before i pulled the tint. Pulled the tint and have not even gotten second look in 9 months. Pull the tint and i bet all your issues go away.

Lol yeah, sorry for the giant pict

I'm considering either CPE tow plate or the one that Canadian company in Vancouver BC made (don't remember the name).

oh ok, so i can pay the fine w/o getting tow in the future? bc one of my friend said if it happens again in the future, the police can tow my illegal car right away.

I told my friend to tint his car yesterday in Street Scenes. looks great in 35%, but it's still illegal right?

doh... final coming and this thing gonna take my time, I'm trying to get this problem solved asap.

Thanks for the reply, anyone else can give me amazing idea?

Go with the CP-e tow plate for sure if you're getting hassled that much. No drilling, and you can take it out when you want.

As for the tint, that's a toughie. I'd like to say you'll be fine at 35%, but then again it's still illegal so it's a tough call.

Where the hell are you driving around? Eden Prairie? Minneapolis? Or more importantly, are you hauling ass or driving like a bat out of hell? I have 20%, no front plate, illegal tails, and I've just had cops flip U's and run the plates but never pulled over for anything...

+1 on getting the tow hook mount for the front plate. Running no front plate and dark tint is a total crapshoot. Chances are, with one or the other, most cops are just going to ignore you unless you're doing something stupid. But you start stacking up the illegal visual mods, and you increase your visibility.

With the tint you are setting yourself up. Definetly lighten the tint. When they see that dark tint they start to really look for things to pull you over for. I got a ticket for front plate after having it off for a week, put the sucker back on.

 

[spek1098]

Yea, those are both things that they are allowed to pull you over for. I've been pulled over and gotten several tickets before with my 35% tint, never about the tint though, and never had a single comment on the tint. It really does matter where you drive though, they don't really bug people in suburbs with the tint and plate issue, but in m/sp and the sticks they do. Had a buddy get two tickets just for 35% tint out in Wright county.

 

[kevinkris]

Yes... Eden Prairie. How do you know that? Is the police really strict there?

I'm trying to take the tint off tomorrow morning, let see if I can get it done before class
