Wow man, that sucks. Hope it all works out for ya. I got pulled over the day i got plates for my car, they were still in the passanger seat and I got stopped for pulling onto the highway too fast. It was a B.S. call but I was lucky enough to just get a warning. The Highway Patrol here are a**holes too but some of them are decent enough to let you go with only a warning.

if you go to court and show you've removed the illegal devices you may only have to pay court fees.

always shut your car off when you get pulled over and always be compliant. it makes everything smoother and you put a person in a better mood by being curtious. thumbs up to you camaro eater. but man...your windows are toooooo dark i would suggest removing it and going down to 50% if you still want tint
35s arent even that dark. 50s would look almost untinted.

besides...whats the point of getting your car tinited if you arent gonna go dark?

Exactly...i have 50% on the windsheild. 30% is not bad, but 35% is basically clear with none of the dark(charcoal tone) in the film.

same here...

the only reason would be to keep it a little cooler inside and to keep the white parts of my interior from yellowing

Adder, i totally understand where your coming from, but your car would be drop dead sexy with a limo tint

i dont need the hassle, i may tint the back ones eventually, but that will be about it

Limo or lighter tintcan ehance the look of a vehicle...but there are other things that can enhance the exterior more...like with paint and wheels. I guess since I been window tinting, it kinda got me over the whole thing where you think its cool to have the darkest tint and remain unseen from other drivers. Plus, i see a whole lot of stangs on here in the east coast that can't have dark tint or any tint at alland they look really nice. I rarely see tint on many classics i see...they look better w/o it.
