Default Trouble with inspection...

Got turned down all week for my first inspection sticker. Never dreamed 18% tint on front doors would get so heavily scrutinized. Finally found a taker this afternoon. Safe for a year I guess.

Where are you? I live in mass, and we let up to 35% go.

It didnt come with it when you bought it? Tx you buy new you get a two year sticker same day or its got one on it already but gives you two years before you have to worry about it.

18% is darker than 35%.

The percentage is the amount of available light allowed through the tint.

I got turned down for 20% once in Texas. Took it to another place that was more shady and they passed it. Sucks that I lost the $40 from the first inspection though.

Sounds like a yearly vehicle inspection.
