Also, don't attempt driving more than a few over the speed limit. They're everywhere.

Made an order last night for some assorted tiny goodies. Should be in next week.. Hopefully, weather allowing, the next things I get lined up will be the H&R springs and tint..
Saw the sport mesh grille and the spoiler add-on thing yesterday in person for the first time.. I like how the grille and spoiler look, but there's two big things I don't like.. 1) The mesh on the grille is too thin. It feels a tad cheap, and doesn't match the thickness of the lower grille. Looks good overall, the color match is nice, but the mesh leave some to be desired. 2) The spoiler add-on thing also looks good. In pics it looked huge, but it really isn't. It's just about right. Should have came I'm the Sport and Limited stock. lol I was worried that since it was only an "add-on" it'd be flimsy, but it's not. It seems solid, even after some force on it. My only gripe here is it should be a HAIR bigger. Not length-wise off the car, but a hair wider side-to-side as well as on the roofline section. Don't make it look like an add-on, that's dumb. Make it fit fully flush over the original spoiler. But maybe I'm just too picky. lol |

When I lived in Los Angeles for awhile, they love giving fix-it tickets for mods and tint. Luckily, cops never looked at me as I always drove the speed limit and kept it in as high a gear as possible to eliminate extra noise.. lol

In other words, your tax dollars will pay his salary so that he can pull you over to generate capitol for our wasteful system. If there is an emergency he wont be around until afterwards to take your statement for a report. But dont you worry, when it comes to your window tint he will always be there because it is a crime of immediate danger. |

Why not just comply with the laws of the state in which you live, and have the document handy to give to the officer if they pull you over?
Update: It looks like it is illegal in NJ to tint your front windows. If you drive around with window tint it is easy to spot and give you a ticket, consider it pay to play or remove the tint. God forbid you screw up and let your registration or inspection lapse, or you or a friend or a friend of a friend drops a bag of weed in your car and the officer who stops you for the illegal tint spots it ? Why would you give them a reason to stop you any time? It is a guaranteed ticket, and a possible ticket for anything else that they spot after they pull you over for the obvious.

Of course theres a chance and I still am not taking the cops advice to "remove it asap," i just found it aggravating that this young cop had no reason to pull over a normal little car with tint he can clearly see through and then call it blacked out, even refferring to the law that says i can only have 0% tint, which obviously means he doesnt know what that means. whatever, ill just drive faster to get through that town quicker. lol jk Btw it was a $54 ticket |

my tints are legal in ny, so when you go for state inspection in nj just tell them its legal in ny and thats where you had it done or roll down the two front windows. I had to reinspect my new car to get the sticker, I rolled down my windows drove in the car they gave me the sticker and I was on my way. This was about 3 weeks ago in cold winter Douchebag cops will pull you over others won't I have 30 front 20 rear. Might not hurt to have the law enforcement license plate or a pba supporter gold monstrosity on your front windshield which is also illegal ditto for ezpass mwa ha ha. If you have the plates you can generally get a pass.

Yeah good luck with that haha!!!!!! It doesn't matter where you get it tinted, the tint has to be legal for the state in which the vehicle is registered!!!

No point in putting something illegal on a legal car. I've tinted my Impreza to the legal limit for good reason.

I'm thinking about getting the yellow fog overlays. Does anyone know the best method for installing them on the fog light with the silver trim piece? Does that piece come off before or with that black plastic piece?

The line up for the doughnut shop must be too long that morning so he had some time to kill and what better way to kill time than pulling people over but seriously though having that feeling of remorse and fear of getting caught when you drive by a cop sucks. So I decided not to tint my windshield or front windows even though it would look much more awesome than rear windows and hatch being 15% and the fronts and windshield being stock.

The silver trim piece is attached to the black fog surround. It all comes off in one piece.

In NJ, you can legally paint all of your rear half windows black for all they care. But nothing is allowed up front. You can risk going pretty light, they wont always pull you over, but it does happen. They also make clear film with UV protection if that is your concern.
I just wish they would pull people over and make them clean the snow off their cars. |
