Just be prepared to get your chops busted by cops a lot. I went to court for my speeding ticket today and the Trooper said "Those MINIs are easy to spot" and if he sees me again with my Europlate he will ticket me.(I cant believe he remember a small detail like that) What he doesnt know is that...I JUST GOT TINTS TOO! LOL! He reduced my speeding ticket, but now I have to take defensive driving. Meanwhile this hot girl who was speeding the same amount as me..he reduced to NO SEAT BELT! What the hell??!!!

I haven't gotten in trouble for my plate yet. *knock on wood*

I am getting a legal tint, so I am not worried.

Looks good Ant. I got mine tinted right before the Dragon Run (35% on the front two windows and 15% on the back three) I have since gotten a CooperFlag emblem for my sunroof. This is the only pic I have since the tint job (taken at the Dragon). I'll try to post more after next weeks meet in Fl.

I think mine is legal in most states. Im in Germany and its not, but they don't mess with Americans much. My wife just got it done for me.

Can anyone tell me if this would not pass their state laws?

Thanks,
Frank

Strange question? can you get ticketed travelling in another state if you have what that state deems to be illegal tint? Seems like something I should know since traveling to all the No-no states next weekend.
Thanks

Cooperspeed, the law in Connecticut is 20%, which is really quite dark.

Found this site with a quick Google search: http://autowindowtintings.com/main.cfm?action=laws

Just select your state and it'll give you the law(s) for it.
