Nice to hear from another whom has good taste.My last 8 or 9 vehicle have been black.Beauties when cleaned and dogs when dirty.Very hard to maintain.When I went looking black was king.until I saw a white with inferno orange stripes and a Black with orange stripes side by side at an angle.My wife said I like the white better,looks longer and lower.I stood back and took pics of both.Said you know what from every angle the white looked superior.From that day forward I pursued the white any many states with my desired options(exact) not finding any.One saturday morning scanning the internet dealerships for new arrivals there it was at the dealership where I had purchased my last 6 new vehicles.Lucky day for me I tell ya.
Yes We are two lucky people.I am heating up the garage right now.Going out to put the second coat of wax on her.Get her ready for spring when I get her out of hibernation.

I'm on the fence here...

First, even if you're right, you know you're going to be hassled again and again. Is it really worth the window tint and the hidden license plate? Consider this. You Enjoy your car and you want to enjoy it more with these mods. Are cops with a quota taking away your enjoyment? If so, remove the mods. You'll be happier.

Cops are on the road to protect us and keep the peace. Easy to read plates help them identify stolen cars faster. Making sure people don't go crazy with tint jobs keep car accidents ANd the cost of insurance, down.

The cop saw something fishy, checked you out, and let you go. Give the guy (or gal) a break. I hope you both shook hands afterwards.

Owned 1 yellow car and 1 red car & motorcycle, and will never own neither color, they just screamed arrest me.

On the bike I got railroaded cause I looked like someone who out ran a cop 3 days earlier even though I was home that night with my girlfriend and dad was home.

I only drive black, dust dirt n scratches be dammed, being able to get away with crap is much much much much better as it hides your speed well and they leave you alone.

Sucky part about that Hulk Hogan give away Camaro, id have to sell it or paint it, cops around here train like they are on a audition for cops, total robots, no sign of human life. Black keeps me under their radar.

Well they do make laws and my tint is legal as I said time and time again. 35% including factory tint what is wrong with some of you don't you read. Yes I could remove the tint, and the flip plate is for when I go to shows that is legal also. I am within my rights to have what I want on my car as long as I am within the law WITHOUT BEING HASSLED. You know this is the U.S.A don't you. Sounds like you may be a cop by some of those a$$nine remarks. remove the mods are you crazy. Next they will take away the rights to bare arms. Oh that's right they are trying to do that too. I am not a bad person, or mad at the world. everyone tells me I am a fun loving guy and will go out of my way to help someone. I was very polite to the officer. It just totally sucks that people want to take away things that we enjoy BY THE LAW.

PLEASE EVERYONE REMEMBER THIS SO I DO NOT HAVE TO REPEAT THIS A MILLION TIMES THIS IS FOR A CHOOSEN FEW WHO DO NOT READ THINGS:

(1) LEGAL TINT MARYLAND LAW SAYS 35% INCLUDING FACTORY TINT. MINE IS LEGAL
(2) FLIP PLATE LEGAL IN MARYLAND AND MOST STATES. MINE IS VISABLE AND LEGAL USED TO HIDE FOR SHOWS.
(3) STOPPED 5 TIMES EVERYTHING LEGAL BOARDERS ON HARRASMENT.
(4) I KNEW WHEN I BOUGHT CAR IT WOULD ATTRACK ATTENTION BUT IT SHOULD NOT DRAW THIS KIND OF ATTENTION

GOT IT
Thank you

It WILL draw that kind of attention, whether it should or not. Being that you continue insulting anyone that brings that up, why bother discussing it or even talking about it on the boards. It is, in fact, the most salient fact in this discussion so far.

You start a thread, people are going to post. In over half your posts, you go after the person just for having an opinion.

Get over yourself.

Maybe move to a country where everyone isn't "out to get you"? Honestly I doubt this guy is really 60, I tried to post my opinions and thoughts several times, as have some others, and if you don't agree with what he's saying...a 17 year old attitude seems to come out. Enjoy your car brother....

If you read everything I said there is only 1 negative remark that I made because they did not understand what I was trying to say so I explained it.
the comment that I made to you was not that I did not agree I was trying to inform you that the tint is LEGAL. When I went to have the tint put on I took inaccount the factory tint along with the tint that was being put on to make sure I was LEGAL, because I knew the CAR WAS GOING TO DRAW ATTENTION. TOTAL: FACTORY TINT + TINT PUT ON = 35% LEGAL in Maryland. I was not disagreeing with you just informing you because of what you said " what window tint is there plus what I added ". I am aware of that. That is why I tried to explain that to you. If you felt offended I apologize, but please go back and take a second look .Thank you.
