I totally love the privacy I don't want anyone seeing me. Plus I change clothes a lot in my car going from work, to gym and then to tennis. The dark windows are such a plus. If you want people to see you roll your windows down.

Got stopped twice already and had to get it fixed (and re did one after the fix it). One was my 12 year old beater. I had no idea it was tinted until a cop stopped me. The tint was so light (front and back) I had no clue (got the car used). He ticketed me anyway. The other was on my G and was stopped after driving 2 miles from where I just got it tinted. I had to re tint after the fix it. No fix-it ticket since.

Since I got hassled for tints, I have no plans to tint my Z for the time being.

Why didn't you just pay the fix it ticket and leave it tinted?

This is a reason I'd never live in California. I don't care how beautiful your state is! Too much government control!

I had to show the tints were gone for the officer to sign off on it.

Here are some of the many great reasons why I deal with this expensive State (other that perfect weather and nice terrain on the east and beautiful water in the west).

The world famous Rose Parade

Showgirls 1000's of them and 3 ugly ones.

Is there no way to just go to court and pay the full fine? Never got a tint ticket. *Knock on wood*

Meh. I'd rather live in Phoenix and just take the 4-6 hr drive to Cali to visit.

Sometimes you get a cool cop/whomever does the validation out here in Phoenix. My buddy was stopped and the person that the judge sent to verify it was a car guy and he was like, "This is stupid. You fixed it, right? Right."

mmmmmm.... yeah get the windows tinted, the less people can see me the better, and about the night thing that is B.S. My tint is 15% all around and I can see really well at night. NO issues.

Riptide67 · 01-21-2014, 09:42 AM

If I care to be seen, my car came equipped with power windows.

Lol at people not seeing you.. People still treat the z like a boy racer car. Don't even lie guys Prius try to race you everyday. Tint or no tint doesn't matter

Not this guy again...

I have owned mine for about 7 months now and I have never had one person try to race me. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Why do you keep mentioning "boy race car"? You have an obsession with little boys or something...
