That bites.
So I guess you have to remove it and put a diffrent % tint on?
Or just remove it, have the cops sign off on it and put it back on?

Still sucks that the cops have nothing better to do then to hastle you for dark windows.

I got a tint ticket in NYC last year, there arent any points because its not a moving violation. ITs a $60 fine.

Ya...they need to be out there getting real criminals, sex offenders, drug dealers....etc., instead of picking on us innocent E60 owners.

Pay the fine! The extra revenue will help keep NY politicians meet the increased cost of NJ Hookers!

Really? I've never gotten pulled over in NYC for tint and I've always had 35% on my E39 and my E60. I believe it's a fix-a-ticket. No fine, no points.

That sucks, but then again, I got pulled over a few weeks ago for no license plate on my M-Tech Front Bumper.
