I really liked not having tint this morning because when I got in my car there was a huge difference in how much the car warmed up without the film on the doors. You can feel the sun’s heat coming through when you are driving too. Combined with the heated seats and hot heater this feels niiiiice when it’s frigid outside 🙂 > > So, total months tinted: 11 > Tint-related traffic stops: 3 > Tickets: 1 issued, 0 found guilty > Current window transparency: 70%, NYS’s legal limit I modify cars. I expect tickets for the shit I do. If you cant afford the tickets, don’t do that stuff to your car! I have plead guilty to a few no front plate, tint, exhaust, etc. tickets in my time. Not worth going to court over. Most cops don’t care about the stuff you have done to your car unless you drive like a dick, or they have nothing better to do. If it’s a slow day for them and they pull you over for a dumb reason like that, be nice, and half of the time you will get out of it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sightings-thread/234818)._
