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 some 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!!!

 

i have a friend right next to me that had his audi A5 registerred in mass before he bought his S4 a few months ago. he had 20% on his 5, but said he won't tell me where he had it inspected for obvious reasons. he said 35% is legal, and that you shouldn't have a problem with it...even with the inherant 4% tint in the windows.

 

also, might wanna post something in the regional forum. might have better luck over there.

 

35 is legal in MA, I've had it on my last few cars, never a problem.
And there are plenty of stations who never even look at the tint.

 

Gbest- Where do you get your cars inspected? If you don't want to post please PM me.

Thanks!

Even if your tint is darker, all you need to do is arrive with the windows down!
