Re: Got my car tinted! Trying out the new Crystalline tint, anyone else have it?
Nice. Have you gotten pulled over just for your tint without committing another violation first? According to the chief of police in my hometown they cannot pull you over just for the tint. I guess if you were going 1 mph over that would be enough to do it though. I haven't looked at tint other than regular before so I didn't even know what crystalline tint was lol.

Yep. The first time was a state trooper, he told me he saw me drive by with tint and anything other than factory is illegal. I know I wasn't speeding because it's a weird spot in my hometown that they changed the speeding zones in and I always go 5-10 under. I couldn't say what the laws are in Iowa, but I'm guessing he had the right since it was noticeably illegal. The second time I got pulled over was for my factory tint-I had already taken the tint off, that time he said, "oh well, you were speeding too", but never told me how much I was speeding or gave me any warnings 
I'm guessing it's different in Iowa because my fiance got pulled over in his '72 Monte for tint and he wasn't speeding or anything.

We have the same story here. If you've put aftermarket wheels on, they stop you, if you tint too dark they stop you, if you have a new spoiler kit or wing or any other thing they stop you. If they get you in a road block, and you've changed steering wheels, your fined. They've gone so far as to take away a guys registration disk(Licence disk), because his car was modded.
KZN where I stay is very heavy, although I've noticed that they've slacked off a bit recently, probably because they bit off more than they could chew with a rich dude and an Lancer EVO 8. He got stopped and they took away his disk and arrested him, because they said the wing on his boot was unroadworthy because it obstructs his view. They also impounded his car. Unluckily for them, this car was stock standard and has passed roadworthy here(otherwise Mitsubishi couldn't sell it), so they had to let him go, and he sued!
What car is yours, I must say it looks really good with tinted windows!

Oh my gosh that is insane!!! Way too many rules! It's a VW Jetta, my third Jetta 
I love the front and the inside. My last Jetta was 11 years old, so this was a big change!

Yep! Stick shifts FTW!!!! To be honest the rules we have are pretty much international standards, it just depends how the traffic cop decides to apply it on the day!

70% ???????? OMG??? In missouri, it was 35%, and I got 30 all around minus windshield... LOL. Never got pulled over.
Too bad you aren't in SW Iowa, as I'm in Nebraska only a hip skip jump and a hop away.
