Isla Vista, or Goleta, or Santa Barbara. Was pulled over for front window tints and no front license plate. Tints allowed about 70% light through (Tint Tuesday...).

$20 dollar fix it ticket for both. This was for a 2007 BMW 328i that is basically stock.

the most obvious reason usually are no front license plate or loud exhaust, they can spot you a mile away. Once they had you stopped, than they can decide how difficult they would like to make you miserable.

When I had my N1 exhaust, I got pulled over. The cop just yelled at me and then left, which was interesting... but sold that immediately and got a quieter exhaust. Not worth the trouble, who knows what would happen the next time.

why? 09-08-2015 10:53 PM

only time I was ever pulled over for a mod was when I bought a car from fl. Literally on the way back from getting it from the truck I was pulled over for the tint being too dark. Was rather funny. After looking at all the paperwork the officer told me I had a week to get it fixed. I was like,"yup."

Tint laws are idiotic. cars have all sorts of limits but there are zero limits for SUV's or trucks.

what other components did you have along with the n1?
What exhaust did you switch to...?

The N1 was paired with a Borla UEL to an ARK test pipe. Switched to a Q300, also swapped the Borla for a RevWerks header + PLM overpipe + Motive catted pipe

Much better now

I got the no license plate, no ticket since I told the officer there is no bolt holes on the bumper but I had zip ties and just tied it to the grill. I took it off 30 minutes later. Still have it in the trunk along with zip ties, just in case.

Full tomei system with the 60S. It's been nearly 2 months with this set up and I have not yet been pulled over(Knock on wood). Honestly, as long as you don't drive like an asshole, you should be golden.

Just put on your front license plate guys. Ive been pulled over multiple times for this and have been asked to pop the hood. Yea it's ugly but not worth the hassle.
