No, not necessarily. There isn't a set % of tint that is "illegal", it is to the discretion of the police officer. My friend has 20% tints and he hasn't ran into any trouble. But if you're being a nuisance and looking to be pulled over, the officer can say "your tints are too dark, and it's illegal.".

The O.P.P. seems to have been gifted by the current provincial gov't. Their budget not only included full auto shortie M16's and ceramic barrier vests in every cruiser, the tail light chasers even bought light meters to read window tint.

SWAT equipped traffic cops - Maybe they will use the machine guns to shoot at the motorcycles they are not legally allowed to chase.

What are some good shops around Toronto?
That could potentially install a turbo kit, and have a dyno?

I would say either Alpha Motorsports or Touge Tuning should be good for the install. For dyno tuning most people go to Sasha from On Point Dyno.

I haven't used them but they seem to be a popular shop due to a certain pro drifter.

I've heard good things about tuning from Sasha and he has done some of the local FR-S/BRZ cars. You could always contact him http://www.onpointdyno.com and see if he has a recommended shop for you.

Hope this helps.

Borden is sort of in the middle of nowhere, you'll get to know hwy 400 quite well I imagine.

TLMC does auto-x just south of Barrie, really close to you.

Welcome. I believe one of my customers Daniel Lampron has also been relocated to Bordon. He has a 370z Time Attack car that he is working on. Perhaps you guys will become friends.

Pat has done a lot of great work on the FR-S / BRZ, as does Chris at Touge Tuning.

I would be glad to help with dyno tuning of course.

Thanks,
