Cops Love my True Red with Tinted Windows

[kneedragger241]

Don't you find driving at night difficult with all of that tint?

The only thing that's a little annoying is the left turn into my neighborhood at night. As I look left through my side window, it's hard to see down the unlit street. Otherwise, no, it's not difficult at all.

PA cops stink.....any little thing they will pull you over for....like when my friend had beads hanging from the rear view mirror.....they pulled her over for that!!!!! where in PA are ya from?

I'm in Harrisburg, PA.
You wrote to me on MySpace about gettin' your hair done, remember?

That sucks. I used to have a black SRT with 15% tint all the way around. I got pulled over once (right after I first got it) in our town, no ticket - and they didn't bother me anymore after that. I think they were just trying to find drugs or something.

Yeah, the cop the other night was dyin' to get me for something... anything.
Kept yellin' at me about speeding around an on ramp and how he couldn't keep up with me. I was doing 35. The ramp has a "cautionary" posting and he didn't even know what the posted limit was for the road he observed driving on. (11/15S to 581E ramp in Camp Hill for those who know the area)
He swore he smelled booze on me and my wife. Made me do a breathalizer. I had one pint with dinner and I blew a .01.
He wanted to check the car for open containers and then we realized what he smelled was leftover beer battered fish and chips in a to-go box. LOL!
He ended up giving me a warning when I produced my pink slip and explained that I bought the car this way... adding in that I'm not some 18 year old punk , you know.

ahhh yes......my bad! haha, yea i'll have to see ya sometime about that....not sure if i wanna dye it again or not ...but good luck with the car i hope that the cops decide to soon give you a break!

Tinting up here leads to profiling and being pulled over to just find anything out of order. girls and or women seem to fair better in this area then men after the initial stop. I have three driving daughters and know it to be true. I still want a light tint on my cosmic while riding under the visual 'radar' That red seriously is magnet by itself but sure looks sweet and more so with tint!

I do when I have to back up. The rear window being tinted at night is a disaster, I can hardly see anything. If there's a street light it helps, but otherwise it's basically all black.

The previous owner of my car fortunately tinted the two front side windows a bit less so the visibility is fine.

 

[Falconx84]

Yeah, heh heh. The Mrs. says I got pulled over for "looking fast".

Remember the toyota celica commercials? Thats the first thing I thought of when I read this. I can't find the one with the motorcycle cop, but this one was my favorite anyway

LOL I remember those, they were funny. Too bad the 'action package' was just a body kit.

You have any pictures? I am getting mine tinted this week and am debating between 50% on front and 15% on the rears, or 35% all the way around. I would like to see what it looks like.

Red MS3s FTW!

 

[racekar]

in california you cannot tint the front at all its illegal.
its a safety matter for cops when they come approach your car

even though it gets hot here

Yes please. I don't understand my local tint laws yet. The local police mentioned I probably shouldn't. Mine will have be lite but its not always sun shine up this way so thats probably alright thanks

lol~ @ "important" *^_^*

I also happen to own a cosmic blue w/ tint albeit within the legal limits (50/35/28) of Virginia. I got it mainly for the benefit of heat rejection, so I'm completely happy with it even if it's not dark.

 

[tubebrner]

More CB w/ tint pics please!

It doesn't look like it's 50/35/28, it looks like it's 50/35/35.

Back to the red causing more attention, I know somebody did a big study and found that old idea was wrong. It turned out only one color got pulled over more than the rest, white cars. And even that difference was very small.
