Did not pass inspection
Did not pass inspection I took my z in for inspection this morning, and they wouldn't pass it because the window tint was too dark. I even had the windows down ( like I have done the the past) and they actually checked this time. needless to say I am looking for a more "friendly" inspection site.

Here in NY - forget about it! We can tint the back window all we want, but for the side...only slightly darker than stock, which isnt worth it IMO.

I had to remove my tint for inspection here, 
... Cops have this device that can tell if youve had your windows tinted here. (Its illegal to have the driver and passenger windows tinted at all here).

The law here is 20% mine is at 5%. I have never had a problem getting inspected (until now) or w/ cops. I have been pulled over a few times and the officer never said a word about the tint, just the lack of front plate.
