Although the tints look really good, it is just another reason not to waste your money and time doing them. Spend it on something else and keep it legal, then at least your moving target does not have a whole bunch of reasons to be pulled over....

yeah I may not be one to talk but a buddy I work with has those on his 06 black on red gt&they look like ***, some of our buddies have looked at our cars side by side from the back&told him "I wouldn't be caught dead in your car with those tailights"
Sucks about your experience but you gotta understand from a cops perspective to cars just like people that fit a certain profile are statistically more likely to do certain things that may or may not be legal. I work with cops all the time and when I show them my car the first thing they ask is how many tickets have you got in this? Not sure what the laws are in GA as far as being to low but I know in CALI the highway patrol would pull you over in a minute if you we're slammed had ANY tint PERIOD anything with a import style muffler would automatically get a exhaust noise violation the list goes on&on. Seems to be either they are chill about that kinda stuff here in GA or just don't care that much>? I know i've been followed by state patrol for miles without being lit up&many local PD have pulled up next to my car or weaved in and out of traffic just to get next to/behind me&check my car out without pulling me over. Many i've been lucky since I don't have tinted windows/tails/headlights just the third brake light overlay*still damn near gives me a heart attack when they get right up on me*

sell your car and buy a scion before u buy those tail lights, barf man.

knock on wood for me bro that sucks about getting pulled over.

I dont think anybody cars is as blacked out as mine or as loud. My fogs, head lamps and 3rd brake and turns and rear bumper lights are all blacked out not tinted blacked out , can not see through them at all. gts tail light covers, and front windshield tint along with limo all the way around. I drove batmans car other day and he was in mine behind me and u can not even see in at all during mid day, its crazy looks like the headless horseman coming down the street I love it.

GTStang I dont think you have to sell the car over this though. I would just change out the tail lights and front strip and be done. Honestly I have no tint strip on the front window as I think it looks better without it.

For the exhaust I just barely touch the throttle when I see a cop to keep queit, and the window tint I just roll down the windows when I am worried.

I have been pulled over twice and ticketed for speeding and I just roll down both windows. Never said anything. (Called Ticketclinic and had them both thrown out. Highly recommend them.)

With my old car I got pulled over alot for speeding and cops used to complement my exhaust Only one ever had a problem with it.

This is just one of those crappy things that happens, fix it and keep going. You will miss the stang if you toss it.
