How are Fairfax County Cops with window tint? I'm getting 5% and I want to know how many tickets to expect.

None.

If you do happen to get pulled for your tint, be sure ask the cop if tint
violations directly account for all the unsolved murders in Fairfax county.

What are you, black?

Every time you get pulled over in your Excalade for doing something else, they'll add on a tint ticket. And thank god for that.

Window tint will soon be part of the state inspection. Too much tint, no valid inspection. This should eliminate a lot of the bullshit.

Searched for: Offense: tinted windows
16373 matches found, up to first 500 displayed

There you go, that should put your mind at ease about getting tinted windows. Just another way for FFX to suck more money out of you. Spend money to put the tint on, pay the tickets and/or have the tint removed. Either way it's a waste of money and time.

Good Luck.

You'll probably get pulled over if you have tinted windows.

A good way to get out this and other tickets is to say, "Look we both know I've broken law. Let's say you let me go and I'll buy a bag of doughnuts." Works every time.

Yeppers. But it makes people feel cool, so they'll keep doing it. Coolness is more important than money.

I sure hope the state inspection thing is true. That'd be hilarious.

You'll get ticketed. If nothing else you'll be pulled over for suspicion of something and the cop will give you a ticket for the tinting instead of a warning.

Seriously, a cop gave me a hard time about STOCK tint on my Honda Ridgeline. STOCK.

meh. I had a Ford Sport Trac who's engine gave out on me after ~120k miles and left me hanging. I really wanted another ST but given that negative experience I just couldn't go back to it (beside this was the last model year). The Honda Ridgeline has earned a number of consumer awards (to include truck of the year), a better reliability track record, and higher expected resale value.

That all being said, I'm secure in my masculinity that I really give a flying fark what you think. It's a truck, get over yourself.

In hindsight, you shouldn't be afraid to come out of the closet. Your username indicates you may be overcompensating for something and you're familiar with sites such as "metro weekly" and "gay wheels" ... and you're overly critical of a truck I drive. Really? Really.

Tint to be cool?
YOU couldn't be more CORRECT!

* FACT : Tint keeps car interiors 80% cooler in the summer.

* Tint saves your AC compressor stress from being overworked
because the interior doesn't get as hot and is easier to cool.

* Tint SAVES GAS from less AC compressor use, resulting in BETTER GAS MILAGE.

* Tint makes you less likely to be cased for a crime due to
visual obscurity. For example if someone is squinting their eyes
trying to look at you through your tint, it is obvious they are doing so.

* Tint saves interior panels and carpeting of your car from Sun fading

* Tint saves vinyl dashboards from developing cracks.

* Tint saves expensive leather seating surfaces from premature aging and damage.

* Tint saves drivers from blinding summertime sunlight
coming through the side windows.

* Tint makes backseat passengers and small children more comfortable
especially in vehicles without dual front and back climate control
or air vents.

* On top of all that, YES, IT ALSO LOOKS COOL !

TOO BAD WE ALL CAN'T BE YUPPIE FAGGOTS LIKE 'KILTON'.

Yep, that's why people drive gigantic dopey-looking trucks like the Ridgeline -- because they're secure in their masculinity. You totally nailed it. :-)

That's biggest pile of horseshit I've every heard. Most car are already tinted enough to block strong sun rays. All dark tinting does is say "I live in the ghetto." Especially the dark purple tint.

Actually he's 100% right. While the "But it keeps out the harmful sun rays!!!" excuse may be what you use to justify dark windows to your wife, the real reason people get them is because they think it enhances their coolness. There is no other legitimate reason.

What you people need is to find something to worry about other than your stupid automobiles. Try finding a hobby that is actually useful. Making your cars and supertrucks look cool and awesome is a waste of money and effort. The satisfaction is only fleeting -- a month later you're the same loser you were before.

You are just as full of shit as Opus. If the only "legitimate" reason for window tint is the "look cool" factor, then explain why virtually every car in Florida has after-market window tint installed. I guess all those 70-something retirees think it looks cool too.

Driven through Florida lately? Tint IS everywhere. "Virtually every..." is an exaggeration, perhaps, but it doesn't change the fact that car owners there, lots of them, get tint for its functionality.

I've spent much time in Florida. Tint isn't "everywhere" by any stretch of the imagination. Sure, it's more popular in sunny areas, but that doesn't mean it's due to functionality. It's a lot easier for "men" to justify window-tinting to their wives in sunny areas. And the more people who do it, the greater the number of idiots who will see it on a friend's car and say "Wow, that looks cool, maybe I'll do it too."

I'm sure you're not suggesting that the rocket scientist who started this thread -- with his over-the-top 5% tint -- is doing it for functionality. We just disagree on the subtler typical cases. No prob.

LOL! No, he is definitely getting it for the "cool" factor. When I got mine (not 5%, that's too dark), part of the reason was for the appearance, but that does not negate the real functional benefits of it. Car is definitely cooler if I have to leave it in the sun, many times I will put my window up in mild spring/fall weather when sitting at a light, or otherwise stopped, and the sun is hitting me directly in the head/face. The difference is considerable and immediate.

FFX. is one of the only areas where you'll get pulled JUST for the tint alone. It's so bad, that some of us on here have been running the Florida-to-VA connect in the tint racket for a while now. Play your cards right, and you might be let in on the action.
