Just got mine tinted yesterday and it looks great! I got 40% all around, I didn't want to take a chance at getting pulled over and to be honest its perfect. Not to dark, but perfect! I drive to LBI a lot on the weekends and the cops there are brutal so I didn't want to worry about it. ITs funny how lots of people now look at my car b/c they can't really see me inside it hah

Thanks Rev for setting this up!

Is a tint ticket a fix-it ticket in NJ ?

I think it depends on the cop and the location. I have friends who have gotten pulled over for tint and got fix-it tickets and had to get their tint removed. But then I also know other people (including myself) who have gotten pulled over for tint, and have just gotten warnings.

When I got pulled over it was both for my license plate and tint, but I was only given a ticket for the plate and a warning for the tints. The cop just told me I wouldn't pass inspection with tints and that I should get it removed.

If you get a tint ticket in freehold it's a mandatory court appearance, and supposedly they'll come out and check your car. But besides that it's usually just a ticket that you pay and that's it.

awesome! yeah, my 20% catches some attention everywhere hahaha.

very glad with it, only thing i am noticing is the rear quarter panels look like they are bubbling around the original lines of the window.

BobS · 09-30-2009, 06:08 PM

My rear quarter panels are realllll clean and perfect. I do have a line of bubbles on the rear window that i'm hoping will go away. I was told you have to give it 2 weeks for the tint to fully dry and all the bubbles work themselves out. After 3 days you can roll down your windows....we'll see!

LaLakers91tc · 10-01-2009, 12:23 PM

i have a few little bubbles in the rear little windows and quite a few around the rear windsheild... hoping their assessment of drying out in two weeks is correct
its been a week so far and im happy with it except for that minor detail

BobS · 10-01-2009, 07:47 PM

i have a buddy that always gets tint on his cars and he said it does take like 2 weeks to clean up so we'll see

328i · 10-01-2009, 08:27 PM

It depends on the weather too, a lot of sun helps that's why it's always better to get the car tinted while it's still warm out as well.

thatsosm · 10-03-2009, 01:15 PM

Can a cop pull you over for tints or is it a 2ndary offense ?

Yes it is a primary offense, and even if it wasn't I can guarantee you they can find a reason to pull you over.

thatsosm · 10-03-2009, 02:58 PM

I'm really debating whether to tint or not. Aw e90 with tints would be very noticeable, even with light tints, but I don't want to give a cop a reason to pull me over.

lol, got pulled over tonight on NJTP between exit 5&6, cop let me go free and clear, and another to comment on the ride! i think he pulled me over just to check it out(even though i switched lanes without/forgetting to signal)..didn't say anthing about my dark as night tints. said he was a bmw enthusiast as well, gave me his sn for bmw post but of course i didn't write it down, was telling me he pulls over like 100 bmws a month, lmao. if your on here, you make me rethink about some cops and thanks!!!!

, anyways, alexosma, my car screams pull me over with 20s..but i'll never take them off, but then again so far i have had nothing but some very cool coppers pull me over.

i think they are actually resolving themselves every day, the rear quarters are still sketchy though..

RevC · 10-24-2009, 04:40 PM

well, i still have TONS of bubbles in the quarter windows, very dissapointed with the fitment from SOG, it looks horrible, hopefully they will take care of me.
