Window Tinting NYC

I've seen other cars with additional tint and I always wonder how many times do they really get pulled over by the police...

I have been pulled over I think 4 times in my BRZ and I'm quite glad I don't have tint ^_^ just something for them to add on the ticket if they feel like it

That's amazing. I'm still tempted to tint, but now a little concerned.

I live in upstate NY with 35% where cops are more lenient on tint. I never got pulled over for tint in the half year I had them on (even when I got pulled over twice for something else).

NYC is another story, though. Prepare to be hassled.

Yea and you may not be hassled often but they like to tack on for each window, be glad we have a coupe so it's only 2. Last time I was at court for a speeding ticket a guy had 4 for his sedan.

And also remember, NYC there is no "plea bargaining" which means unless you can prove your ticket is bogus (which you 99% cant) you have to pay it and if it has points you get the points. Not like in Yonkers or out of NYC where you can get your speeding tickets reduced to non moving violations.

And that, is the reason why I drove a rental down to NYC last weekend and my gf's forrester down the weekend before. Tinted windows and no front license plate, makes me a little cautious.

I've seen cars like ours (sporty and what-not) being pulled over for no reason. I've already taken the brave route and have driven it to the actual city already. While that was terrifying because of the damn taxis, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Although, I did drive late at night. Still pretty hectic though.

Instead of making a trip to get my windows tinted, I may just drive down to get my EZ Pass.

OMG, plz get an ez pass

I dont understand people that don't have it. Sometimes the lines are back up more than 1/4 mile for cash lane, like WTF?!

Oh I know. I have an EZ Pass for my old car. I just have to register my BRZ so I can get it's own pass.

You can just call them and ask them to mail you another tag. That's what I did when I wanted a second one.

I was thinking about doing that, but I was thinking of doing a Bear Mountain drive over this weekend and I think they give out the EZ Pass at the office right?

I've had tints on my car for 2 years now. Suffolk/Nassau cops never bother me, but then again if I gave them a reason to pull me over, I'm sure they'd hit me for the tints as well.

The way I see it, everyone on long island has tints it seems. I'll take my chances, if I get a ticket, I'll pay the piper. If I get a ticket once every 3 years, I'll consider that a fair price for my evil sins.

Some of the best tinters in NYC. They did my BRZ in 2 hours and everything was flawless
