Last time my buddy got a tint ticket in Chicago it was $30.

Why not replace it with a lighter shade? Cost about $150 to get installed. If your tickets are $80 each and you get pulled over twice, it's already over the cost of the new tint.

Re: How much will this window tint ticket cost me?

I have had the car for 9 months and had no issues, i will take my chances, but if i get a ticket again for it then i will remove it, its a fix it ticket so it should not cost much or anything at all if i remove it. In New york state 70% is legal, that is garbage, i will bump it up to 35% if i get hassled about it again. at what they are now does not look that dark at all, you can see in the car just fine, what crap lol

Wow long time no see Talon, 70% is complete shit. Thats not even worth putting tint on a car. I would call and see what they will charge you if you dont fix it. Every state is different but I have heard tint tickets here are pretty pricey.

Re: How much will this window tint ticket cost me?

Getting a prescription for window tints is harder then people say if you truly don't have sensitive eyes. I have a white Chrysler 300 s with black interior with 35%s on the front two windows and 20%s all in the back. If you're traveling anywhere in a good neighborhood your chances of getting caught are a lot higher. I drive around Brighton Michigan a lot which is probably the strictest when it comes to window tints. I've been pulled over twice so far, first time I was pulled over in the summer mid day and got a fix it ticket. Second time I was driving and got pulled over was around midnight and got a $208 dollar ticket. I payed the ticket with no points going on my license and the ability to keep the tints on if I wanted. Talked to some cops at the station and they told me it was a flat rate if you kept getting pulled over, so $208 every time. No points can get put on either because it's not a moving violation. Deciding if I want to take the risk and keep them on cause summers around the corner and I like tints to much. Both times I got pulled over it was on grand river in Brighton Michigan. Less crime means less money and more time for the cops to be looking.
