Tint

[.k3k5.]

first of all hello everybody... just joined eurodrivers... and already have questions
k...so... got my first tint warning...
was going through the checkstop last night, not drunk (im serious)
however, the first thing that cop asked was my driver lisence...
second he asked me if the car was mine... then asked me to roll up the window half way... started to scratch my tint...than asked me if i drank... and then when i said no... he started telling me that my tint is illigal ( i have limo tint (5%) on the back and 30%(as i was told max allowed in AB) on driver and passanger sides)... so he told me that i gotta take it off and thats my warning.. and next time ill get a ticket....
so yea.. is there is actually a law that u are not allowed to tint driver/passanger windows? or was the cop being a prick?

Re: Tint

As they usually are to a younger person in a car with tint, but if you were 40 and driving a Chrysler 300 he would not have said a damn thing, funny how that works....

Re: Tint

He was being a bit of a dick however it is true that the 30% tint you have on you front windows is illegal. As a matter of fact, any film (even clear) on the front windows is illegal. Typically, however if the shade of tint is quite light, they don't have too much of an issue with it!

Re: Tint

i think 50% or 75% is legal in some provinces.. but ya.. nothing on the front doors here.

There is a bylaw that you cannot have an enlarged exhaust. (Enlarged from Stock) You can search Beyond for a more extensive explanation.. or pm Nismodrifter.. he posted them overthere
