Question about windows that can auto switch tint or not
Because I GOT PULLED OVER tonight,
Short Story: some evo hater cut me over on Las Tunas Drive and slow down right infront of me ended up I am getting close to his bumper. and I let it go coz I just finish my dinner with my girl and ready to go home and sleep.
After traffic light, cops pulled me over and said I was too close to that guy blah blah blah, he gave me 3 advises, 1) ticket for too close to other car, 2)illegal exhaust(I am on STOCK EVERYTHING). 3) ticket for ... he asked me to roll up my window (5%). ......................
Well which would you pick? its fix ticket anyway, I will sure take my tint off first then retint it with 1% !!!
I remember there are some type of window that has a switch wasnt it?? you can switch around tint or no tint right??
if so any vendor wanna get those?? I will pay WHATEVER cost to get one.
coz I am a very good driver that NEVER wants to break law no matter WHAT (besides tinted window coz in So-Cal SUN BURN will kill you and my girl likes to be white)
BTW something funny that when I got pulled over, the car infront of me,89 Accord with Freaking loud exhaust pulled to the side too, after he figured that cop wasnt on him. he damn run away fast. Coz that guy has the sticker for NOV 2005. hahahahaha Cops. always get wrong guy.
sorry for vent but please if anyone have any information on those windows, let me know.

well if ur asking which one u could pick to fix, then its easy. do the illegal exhaust ticket, because that will be the easiest to argue. Its is completely stock. u could try to argue that u were not too close to the car, but it would just be ur word against his.
if ur telling the truth and ur exhaust is 100% stock, then ur good!

Dont even worry about the tint. If you say you have skin problems or sensitive eyes, most cops will let you go. San Diego has it just as bad, and most of the cops dont even care about it.

How hard to take off door panel and replace window? can you do it yourself? if so, does lancer windows fit evos?
Thanks for answering these questions
Thanks all I am glad all of your help.
Poor guy who just got pulled over by someone else's fault.

if u plan a proper defense u can almost always get off on following to closely tickets. my old teacher in HS was a lawyer part time, and he got me off 3 of them in my 4 year HS career. its actually kinda hard to even justify giving those kinds of tickets because all u have to do is explain to the judge that even though u may have been a tad close u were in complete control of ur vehicle. following to closely is really only designed for when u rear end someone aka, couldnt stop in time. as long as u can prove that u would have had enough distance to brake and u didnt hit the guy u should be fine

I'm sure you could pay someone to make windows for your car, but they would be very thick.

Not sure how the laws are where you are, but you can get a ticket for each window that has illegal tint on it here in wisconsin. EVO = 7-possible tickets plus if they really want to be a ***** he could let you go and have another cop pull you over say 2 miles down the road and do the same thing, but that wouldn't hold up in court thats for sure, can you imagine going to court "Ah yes judge i only have 14 illegal window tint tickets in a matter of 10 minutes" When i got mine on my old car they were 136.50 a ticket, i got 3 of them when i i could have got 5 he said. I won't ever tint a car window again!

guess I will just buy a set of new windows and put them up for inspection? coz my tint was perfectly done and I want to keep it.
is lancer front door glass will fit evos? I think their body frame are the same right? btw just for inspection and I will remove door panel myself.
I cannot believe the guy who cut me over can got away for it.
Sad
