5% all around. Either take them off or don't complain when you get pulled over.

Regardless of if he saw the tint or not, he could be checking for proper registration/licensing. Once you're stopped, your entire car is free game in order to check for compliance with your state/provinces motor vehicle act. Therefore, after asking you to roll up window and seeing tint, ticket could have been issued. Sounds like you got a break...now have a coke and a smile!

I wish that was true in my case. Got popped in Huntington Beach for a 50 on my dd. Got me for brake lights first and after I showed him a lamp that I just got ready for install, he ticketed me for the tint instead. Bought the car used and was surprised I had tints. Never noticed it for years.

Or it could be a sobriety check. 9 times out of 10 when I have to talk to a cop about my lack of a front plate, he's just checking to make sure I don't smell like booze. You got a warning, simmer down. He's just doing his job. 99% of cops are decent folks doing a really scary, crappy job.

I was let off with a warning but god knows how hard i would have raged to get a ticket for something the cop never even saw for one second.

Wtf is this bs? That to me sounds alike to saying "Oh this is a fast sportscar. You probably speed a lot in it. Here, take this speeding ticket in advance"

:mad::shakes head:

It's NYC baby... REPHRASING DUE TO MOD WARNING 2nd? "Is your personal shade darker than pale white? Cuz NYC dark skinned and nice cars don't go hand in hand.

THERES a series of civilian injustices being inflicted in the city of NY by Men & women with the empowered right arrest innocent until proven guilty people at will... Because of this viral epidemic in NYC, it has spawned hundreds of identical posts such as yours in this forum and others

Its gonna happen lol

I honestly find the Z looks like its tinted already because of the lack of sun roof and dark headliner. Didn't bother to tint mine

The rear quaters are super dark though, not fair to base the rest of the car on that.

I've read several places that the the 370 is mildly tinted from factory at ~70%.

False, they must LOVE them, as they stop them to admire them and get the drivers autograph
