Inspect. Tint. Remove. Inspect. Repeat.

Some tinters are offering credits toward reapplication when you pay them to remove to stay in business. Look for that if you're gonna tint. Otherwise shrug.

This is exactly why I haven't done tints....yet. There may be some small garages that work on less expensive cars that also do inspections that potentially would not think about the windows. Very fucking frustrating.

It may take another 6 months for this ny state thing to die down some. For now, these shops are worried about that $800 or so fine. This also tells me you have to know a guy well that works at one of these places since they are not trusting anybody......blah blah blah

Hopefully someone can help especially since my post has kinda been worthless lol

The Indy I use is in nj and it's clear that knowing your shop is the only way to get this done. BS you have to rely on this angle though.
