when i saw him pull you over through my rear view mirror, all i was thinkin' was.... didn't you have front tints...

there were so many cops it was frightening.

 

In the current world....tint and no front plates are reasons for cops to pull you over...gives them the right to assume you have other illegal things done to the car. Tint and no plate gives them probably cause.....to check for illegal exhaust systems (no Cats)...and FI systems....

 

i got ticketed a few weeks ago for tint and no front plate. i guess they are cracking down on it. i almost always drive w/ my windows down now.

jesse, are you actually going to pay that fine for the tint to keep it on? it'd be cheaper to take it off yourself and then have it put back on after.

 

Jessie, check with the tint shop you used...sometimes, they will give you a discount on a second tint job...but often, they will charge you to remove the old film and remove the adhesive...so if you do this, it would greatly decrease the cost of the job.

Also, some shops offer you free re-tints....if you get a ticket for tint...but only if you buy their top of the line film...just something to check.

Don't know what % film you had, but you may want to consider going one shade less black.

Sorry bout the ticket...yes, they suck. They definely give you, that "why me" feeling.

 

it's not hard to take tint off yourself either(exception of the rear windshield). it's just very sticky. if you do this all you'll pay at the tint shop is to retint.

 

you only need to remove the tint from the front side windows...any window behind the frnts can have any tint on them you want...heck, you can even have them painted in solid black paint. The tint ticket is for the front "roll-ups" only.

 

i know that. i was just stating that tints aren't hard to take off yourself.

 

haha lol

 

yup....just a soapy *** sponge and some elbow grease...especially if the tint has only been of for a short period of time...or if the car is garaged.

 

yah, sorry to hear about the tix... that's been one of my biggest paranoias- ie getting tix'd for no front plate. maybe i'll get some plastic string tyes and put on the front plate for the cruises.

 

My radar was going off like crazy yesterday. After the Cruz me and Sahara decided to go to Glendale Galleria and on the way we saw the Black Porsche Carrera GT we saw earlier heading the opposite direction on Las Virgenes got pulled over by the piggies and from what I read on the Ferrari forums he got a nasty ticket.

 

The Cruz was awesome but too short this time. Seeing the rest of the cars fo up there was great because they all turned around since we were there first. LOL. Just seeing them stop by was cool. I had fun and my girl had so much fun. The red RX8 I give you props for paying attention behind you when you moved out of the way before almost getting hit. Cool dude.

 

Ill post pics probably 2morrow. I have to Shrink them

 

I noticed that there was an RX8 that had black wheels...who was that....from the far off pictures, looked like my twin...?

 

got a link for that jun?

when i am in malibu i alwassy have the windows down, to hear the car and the breeze and then the cops cant get me.

 

Keith thats Danny's car with the autobahn front and kenstyle rear. I'll get a link up to the ferrari forum once I get home, I'm in class right now.

 

oh, ok....with FE3p's wheels...gotcha, thanks.

 

who has the radar detector? how is it? can it jam the detector? whats a good one? cause driving to L.A. from 29 Palms every weekend doing 85-101 mph wont look good on my driving record since i have wrekless driving already on it for doing 30+ the speed limit.

 

my windows were rolled allll the way down as well. he said he was going to give me a ticket for no front plate, then he asked me to roll my windows up a little and gave me the tint ticket.

 

I know the rest of you guys were taking pictures, post em' up.

 

damn... u guys have me nervous about driving malibu now... LOL

 

 

That is what you call a trophy ticket for the cop and toilet paper for the driver.

 

Hahahahahaha... that's a good one loren.

 

Well guys I need to make all the cruise possible. I'm moving to the east coast by the end of Sep.
