so i am going to get my tint ticket sign off at the CHP office tomorrow..2 quick questions:

1. Can i leave my window visors on? are visors illegal? if so, can i just say the dealer installed it for me?

2. the front quarter windows are still tinted..but i should be ok? If the CHP officer bitches, can I show him this from the CA.Gov website?:

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:

1. The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
2. If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.

The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.


Since it is the passenger and driver's side windows only, those quarter windows in the front should be ok since it isn't obstructing view from the driver's face?

also regarding the visor, i am paranoid becuase the law states "installed, affixed or applied"....

thanks

 

you can have any window tinted except the front driver/passenger, also your visors are legal, no law regarding them.

 

stop stressing, you'll pass

 

x2! Although being anywhere near cops makes me nervous too :/

 

not sure how modded your car is, but depending on the officer, they might also ask you to turn on your car if he/she sees you have an exhaust. there's a couple douche's at the alta dena location, and a VERY strict female officer at the west valley location on de soto that loves doing vehicle inspections.

yea, the chp is free, but if you're worried about them pointing out other mods and don't mind paying 10 bucks, try the temple city sheriff's office on las tunas. they're quite lenient.

oh, put ur front plate on too if you haven't yet, lol.

 

^i'll go today to the CHP first..and if they won't sign the paper, I will go to the TC Sheiff's dept. Thanks

 

dood, getting your tickets signed off is not a stressful event. Take the ticket in... IF THEY EVEN DECIDE to get off their lazy asses to look, they will sign the shit.

 

amen, for me they just signed it inside without even walking outside

 

x3...the cop that signed my ticket had food in his hands...finished it and signed my ticket. it was for no front plates. i didnt even have it on when i went! hahaha it was in my car.

 

LOL! yeah i got a fix it for no front plates and no tint a separate time and both times they just glanced outside and i pointed at my car and they signed and i left.
