Got tired of searching through my thread to find pictures to link to, so I hyperlinked my mod list so I can click on a part and it brings me to the page I posted it on :D

Got pulled over today for my window tint, and was issued a ticket
Anyone ever get a ticket for this? If so, what was the fine like and will removing the tint prior to appearing in court make a difference?Comment

It won't help your case no. The officer has to have a light meter in Ontario otherwise they cant do anything. They can issue you a ticket but nothing will come of it in court. Check the traffic act and find out whether or not they need to have a light meter to fine you. Some places it depends on the officers discretion though. A buddy of mine has 5% (limo tint) on his MKV GTI with 13" wide wheels on the back with 10" tires stretched to them, and he hasn't gotten a ticket for any of that. You can barley see out the windows in the day let alone at night.1988 Mercury Tracer. (aka Ford Laser)

Supposed to be 20%, Meter said 12% legal is 70%. I asked around and heard that If you can remove you tint before the court date and explain tot he judge that you removed it, many times they will just charge you the court fee and not the total fine which is considerably less. So if the weather is decent tomorrow Ill take the tints off and then see if I can go to the station and get an officer to measure it again and if I can get some documentation of that then Ill bring that to court with me ans see if the judge feels like being ncie.Comment

Well at least you have that option. I hope all goes well for you. Often times the light meter isn't perfect but if the reading was that dramatic then its obviously dark. I didn't even know that they had 12% tint.1988 Mercury Tracer. (aka Ford Laser)

So Im home till Monday and got a good start on the laundry list of things I need to do to the car...
Took the window tint off ...
with the help of a clothes steamer I got the job done in like 15 mins with no glue left behind whatsoever
Then I got to work on the fender...
Since I was wrapping the fender and didnt have to worry about hurting the paint, I decided to roll the fender lip in case Ill need it done later on down to road.
The wrap went on decently well, there are a couple wrinkles I need to take care of tomorrow
Also wrapped the little side molding, not sure if I want it on or not though...
Took the eyelids off the car, but they didnt fair too well (Sorry AJ :/ )
This is how she sits, Ill be back out in the garage tomorrow :D

Ok time for a lunch break .... mmmm leftover Chinese :D
Heres what I got done so far...
Broke one of the tabs on the grille trying to take it off so I fixed that
Made new eyelids out of CF wrap, I think they came out pretty decent for an amateur job
Also went and picked up a pair of Ford escape endlinks

Thought Id take a minute to warm up and update while im here
Got the endlinks in, wasnt nearly as bad as I was told it was going to be
This is what I did for the top nut...
and what I ended up doing for the bottom nut...
same thing for the drivers side except since you are prying up I secured the sway bar with a C clamp
Old versus New
Secured and in place
