It was just a matter of time until I got caught. Well, that time was today. I usually drive with my windows down, but it was a little chilly out and I was feeling a little sick. So I had my passenger window up and my driver side down because I was smoking(sick+smoke=more sick /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif). I was stuck at a stop light when I saw a cop pulling out of a Gyro restaurant. I looked straight at him and knew he saw how dark my tints were. I said to my self...damn it!!! So I quickly rolled my windows down. As the light turned green, I noticed that he turned and got 2 cars behind me. Hoping I was in a clear, I turned my turn signal on to switch lanes and noticed that he was switching lanes also with his lights on. BUSTED!!! I ended up not switching lanes but turning into a Advance auto parts store. He told me that the reason I was pulled over was because of the dark tint and modified exhaust on the car. He then told me to roll my window out a little and checked out how dark my tint was with his gadget. It read 4% and the State of Illinois, I guess allows the window to be tinted at 35%. After writing out the ticket, he approached me and said, "my computer shows that your on file as being in a Filipino gang". I laughed and said to him..." that was 15yrs ago and I`m a family man now". All in all he was pretty cool and didn't give me a ticket on the exhaust. $50 citation was all I got. But sucks being unemployed right now. There goes my gas money for M.O.D.
My question is, should I remove the tint completely from the front or get it tinted a lighter shade?
