Default Lasted 9 days before giving in...

Used to live in PA, now in NJ. I had to take off the tint and put the front plate on to pass inspection. This morning I went out to breakfast and couldn't stand the look of my car anymore with that puke on the front. Put that bird back on, and tomorrow I am making an appointment for the tint install.

damn.. i remember having to do that **** in Illinois. sucks. getting hassled by the cops, i even had to remove my tint one time. and you were required by law to have a front plate and they enforced it.. gayyyyy

AZ is great.. i have basically limo tint all around and the front bumper insert, cause we dont have to have front plates and dark tint is everywhere.

if i get pulled over, i just roll down my windows.. they just need to be able to see in..

I used to live in NJ got nailed on 295 south for no front plate and window tinting. Trooper was a dick too. Moved to NC, no problem with tint or plate. I miss NJ though haha

I had a buddy who took his car to get inspected, paied extra "for tint" and they still peeled it off and left it on his floor.

It's a risk you take in NJ

I smell like a gas station at a stoplight and no one can see who is single handedly responsible for depleting the ozone layer over Oklahoma. 2.5% tint, open headers, ory and a cutout will do that =)

there's a tint place near me here in NJ, and if you get your tint there, they will take it off when you need to get it inspected, and put new tint on afterwords really cheap. i'd like to get mine done soon. i never leave my front plate on, and the only time i get hasseled for it if i'm getting pulled over for something else. so far i've been lucky with my ls1, funny how i used to get pulled over a lot more in my 97 v6 firebird...
