Long time lurker, first time poster...

The wife and I are moving to Boston July 1st and I'm worried about getting an inspection sticker. Her white/graphite sedan has 35% tint on the sides and back. The max in Mass is 35%. I've read that most inspection stations won't pass a car with 35% as the factory glass is slightly tinted putting the total number around 25- 30%. It would break my heart to have to get it re-tinted. The 35% looks sweet.

Anyone know of a "tint friendly" inspection station? I'd be willing to drive anywhere...

Thanks!!!

 

go to any sunoco gas stations, i used to get my 20% inspected at one of those, they didnt give a ****

 

Go on a sunny day with the windows down...

 

I have never every had my windows tested.. LOL I aways have legal tint, But no one has ever check.. LOL

 

35% is completely legal, any place will pass you

 

meh...if they wanna bust ya stones they'll roll them up for you.

 

damn i didnt believe you but i checked lol. Im moving to Boston just for tints(with my yankees hat, jacket and car sticker). Massachusetts RMV - Inspections FAQs

 

I suppose they could, but I find most shops are just really lazy in that regard.

 

agreed

 

 

do what you want but when a state trooper or your local town po po pulls you over and busts out a tint gun, it is game over. I've gone down this road many time, going to shady gas stations to get my 20% tint passed on my g35 coupe. I went through numerous warnings and finally a ticket which I had to fight (removed all my tints). After that never again, once I got my G37 coupe, it was always the legal 35% tint..no more headaches..

do the right thing and switch your front windows to 35%, its not worth the constant headaches and harassment from police.

 

My car has 15% tint now and it came from Florida as well. I can get it passed but its going to be a huge headache dealing with the fines. Getting mine taken off and tinted to the proper % to avoid any unsightly future headaches.

 

Do inspection stations actually check tint? I have never had a inspection in va actually check. Now for cops. thats another story.
