They told me for it to pass i have to remove the tint from all my windows,put in amber bulbs and fix my drives window,the window regulator is broken. I'm soo pissed off i have to remove my tint. Thats the gayest law i've ever heard of that you can't have your windows tinted unless it's factory tint. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 11-08-2004, 02:49 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: New Hampshire Posts: 68 | Quote: Originally Posted by Tyler I'm soo pissed off i have to remove my tint.

Shopped around until I found an inspector that agreed with me.

It is not up to the independent inspection station. Then again in Maryland we have a one time inspection although emissions is every couple of years. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 11-08-2004, 03:21 PM | #4 | Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Tulsa,OK Posts: 51 | that does suck, I loved when OK got rid of inspections ~*Teg*~ | | | 11-09-2004, 03:03 AM | #5 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Quote: Originally Posted by Constant Yup, moved from MA to NH and was told the same thing.

Which i don't mind doing,but finding that person might be difficult,i don't have the time to research that right now,not when i work nights. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
