Inspection won't pass
I just took my car to HCBMW to renew my inspection sticker, and was told my tint (35%) is actually 23%. They also told me I must have a front license plate as the standards are now more strict.
Does anyone know of any gas stations or places that are cool with these things? My sticker is due at Feb lol thanks for any help in advance!!!! |

For front plate, you can get the one that screws into your tow hook. That should take care of it. As far as tints go, you can go to any gas station. I use the Shell at Fenway, just don't let them drive you car into the bay.

I know that in Maine, they'll let you off if its visible, so just stick it in the windshield. Unfortunately, my car already got drilled, so I can just put the damn thing back on for 3 months until I'm back in the land of smooth bumpers. Actually... Its gonna be 9, I'm going to Europe for 4 months

thanks for the info guys!
so i taped my front plate on, went to about 5 gas stations today, and had NO LUCK  a guy did tell me he would do it for $130 but i figured its too muchanyways, so i went to talk to Jim at Sound in Motion, where i did my tints. Right away he offered to take them off on monday, and put them back on after i renew my sticker, free of charge. After being rejected the whole afternoon, that was at least very good to hear lol ill let u guys know if i happen to find a gas station that would do it before monday. |
