New England B.S. Thread

Looks awesome!

Meh, haven't been harassed yet. I had the Taco and the Ford tinted to 30 or 35% (whatever the level limit is). Probably depends on the town but so far I haven't been bothered. I say go for it.

 

I know Groveland is really bad. Buddy got pulled over for it. He said to my buddy "The only reason to tint your windows is to hide something from us"

 

Then that LEO is probably a huge douche canoe. One of my best friends is a supah troopah in a neighboring state and the only time he pulls someone over for tint is if they are a known scumbag. Otherwise they don't give an F If you have limo tint on all your Windows.

 

What are you guys paying per window to have the tint done

 

80-100 is probably what you should expect for the front two. Sun setters in Stoughton, Rob does all of our cars

 

I paid 60 for my fronts to be done at 35, but that's cause we have a guy who comes to the dealership. He did all the windows on the Mazda 3 for $125

I can get a full interior and exterior detailing for $100-$125

 

Every place is quoting me $100

 

Damn, you can tint the front windows down south for $40 to $50 bucks.

 

Wow he's your boyfriend now?

Yeah coming from a Yankee's fan. Lol

 

Lol. NY State Troopers pulled my brother over several times years ago for tinted windows. I peeled it off the windows when he wasn't home. Problem solved.

 

So stupid, I can't believe that the tint causes that much of a problem sometimes. My inspection was rejected before because of it. Mine are tinted 30% instead of 35%

 

I know right!! I used to tint my cars for $113 at a place in SC, move up here and it's double

Yeah sometimes I throw that in so I don't confuse people

Go yanks!

 

NYS is notorious for being hard asses about tint. When I lived there, I knew tons of people that got tickets for tint. The legal limit in NY is also barely darker than slightly dusty glass so, if you want the tint to actually do anything, it's easy to be illegal there.

 

Just keep the receipt in your truck and show them if they give you shit.

 

I have had illegal tint in every state I've lived in since 2007 and have only been ticketed one time for it. That's crazy

 

I've never run tint, although there have been times I've wanted to (since I do think it looks nice). Most people I know with tint tend to be pulled over more often than my friends who don't. When I had PDR done on my Subaru my glass got scratched, so tinting it would just make it worse.

Is tint a moving violation in MA, or is that the one thing that won't hike up rates? I know exhaust, ride height and altered lighting are all on the list, but I don't know about tint. A good friend almost lost his license without a single moving violation outside of an at-fault accident when he slid off a road in ice because he had loud exhaust and was lowered.

I figure with as loud as my car can be, tint is just asking for it. When eventually the family car shows up, if nothing else I'm doing privacy glass though.

EDIT: Back when I had my Accord I loved going through the steps to make it pass inspection, it was pretty entertaining. Still miss that car.

 

FIFY

 

NY cops love ticketing people. A coworker got a ticket parked on the side of our dealership for no front plate and being a day over inspection. His car was parked there because he was going to have it inspected that day. Stupidity man, stupidity

 

Police can ticket a vehicle on private property, or was it parked on a street?

 

Must have been on a public street. You can do whatever on private property. I have 35% tint and wanted to go darker also but don't want to be harassed. I am still thinking of putting 20s on the back and leave the fronts at 35%.
