Got a tint ticket.

evoalex · 02-17-2011, 02:36 AM

So i got a tint ticket today

Gonna take it off and get it signed off. Its 3M so its pretty pricey stuff. I need a good reliable place that does tint. *in the LA area.

Thanks in advance.

Can you really do that? I'm fairly new to cali, in vegas cops dont care about tint.

Do i gotta go to court or can i do it over the mail?

Simon_135i · 02-17-2011, 10:31 AM

Isn't this a fix it ticket? As in get it fix and have it sign off by an officer.

shemeld_135 · 02-17-2011, 10:36 AM

should just be a work order..

evoalex · 02-17-2011, 12:42 PM

It is just a fix it. But I need someplace to take it off. Then put some new one on after I get it signed off.

it happen to me when i got pulled over there like you have to take it to the station to make sure its off blah blah but I went along minding my own business ...then 6 months later the SAMEEE damn cop pulled me over and since it wasn't off he gave me a ticket..

Simon_135i · 02-17-2011, 02:05 PM

same cop??? Wow, i'm speechless. Hopefully he didn't remember you.

evoalex · 02-17-2011, 02:39 PM

Anyway. Anyone know of a good tint place in la? So I can get it taken off/put back on?

My brother got a tint ticket once and he actually took it off himself. The tint hadn't even been on the car for a year or so. You can do it on your own if your'e patient enough with it. He used a razor sort of thing and a spray for removing tint which is similar to goo-gone

theanhdy · 02-20-2011, 12:55 AM

Hey Alex, I put the tint receit in the owner's manual leather case. Solar eclipse is the shop I got the tint done at. They will remove it for free just show receit. Or you can pay $140 to keep your tint

evoalex · 02-21-2011, 08:11 AM

I would rather just pay the ticket and keep it rather than take it off and putting it back on. Im gonna call the court and see what the process is to do that.

Thanks for the info Andy! I think i'll do that.

Boxtyp3 · 02-21-2011, 09:40 AM

How dark is your tints? I'm in the market for a tints right now.

You pay the fine at the court's traffic window (rather than getting it signed off) and you get to keep your tint and the ticket goes away. I've have done this once before.

Really. Do i have to go on the date on the ticket, or can I go anytime? And do you recall how much exactly it was?

new2the3 · 02-21-2011, 05:27 PM

You mentioned your from Vegas, Do you still have Nevada plates on your car or did you switch to cali? Just wondering because I am going to be living in SoCal and my car has FL plate on it so I hope to avoid the strict tinting regulations in Cali.

chachacha28 · 02-21-2011, 05:37 PM

I used to get tint tickets in cali all the time (happens with 2.5% on everything other than the windshield) and it was like 10 or 15 bucks. I never took the tint of though, I just had to have the cops at school sign the ticket to say I removed it.

I'm pretty sure you can go anytime, but wait long enough to make sure the citation is in the traffic court system (might want to call ahead).

I don't remember the amount, it was more than $100 though. It varies by court jurisdictions anyway. Again, if you call ahead, you should be able to provide them with the VC section you were cited and they should be able to tell you the fine amount. Good luck getting someone willing to be helpful on the phone.

Yeah I know how that can be. I'm thinking of calling withing the next couple weeks and just paying the fine.. Pay the money and not take it off

morscode · 02-25-2011, 11:55 AM

I always pay the fine, I'd just be reinstalling it anyways

evoalex · 03-04-2011, 11:36 AM

Yeah, I'm trying to get a hold of a clerk over the phone, see if I can pay it that way. Rather than taking time off work and going to go do it. But I am having NO luck of getting anyone over the phone.
