Default New pics v.tint and dropped....

*edit* NEW PICS ON PAGE 2 OF THIS THREAD

God I love how our cars look and sit when they are lowered.
Nice shots.

Cool shots. Lowered on stock bolts and cut bushings or what?

The car looks great but BE CAREFUL around the police unless you are in fact a LEO. When I got pulled over the trooper pulled out the tint gun and I scored 3%. He was like, I'm not going to ticket you for speeding but def. for the tint.

I use to roll down the windows whenever I was near a cop and this time I forgot. Cost me about $200 to remove/replace the tint with 28% and pay the ticket (now I feel naked driving and HATE IT!). afaik, there is no state that allows less than 28% tint.

Local cops are very lenient (read: don't care) about tint.
State cops will bother you but only if they pull you over first, and at that point I'd rather have a tint ticket than a speeding ticket anyways.
They also will only ticket and never make you remove it. At least in my experience. Every one of the cars I have owned (24 of them at this point) has had tint.
