Failed Inspection

Failed today for tints had the windows down when they pulled the jeep in and never saw them put them up but when he hit me with the rejected sticker thats the reasoning he gave me..

so the question is does anyone know a local place in NJ where I can buy my way to pass inspection?

It does not make sense to pay to get the tint off pass inspection then put it back on when I can just pay someone to pass me..

Any Ideas

Thanks
Tom

Roll down the window, take a razor blade, start at the corner and peel back.

It would be easier if you have a handheld steamer (they are cheap). But you can do it using the method mentioned above.


Once you get the film off, spray goo gone on the windows until the residue is off.

In NY I don't think they check the tint. if they do pretty much anywhere in Brooklyn or the Bronx will pass ya. LOL Irf and Mario have tint and they have 08's. find out where he got his done. I've never heard of that before for NJ.

NYS inspection is a joke. As long as you have no CEL, you are golden.

I remember one year with the Overland, I took the Jeep to Manhattan Jeep to get the inspection and I was worried I would fail because of the drop in HID's. Well the guy took the Jeep upstairs for the inspection, brought it back down with the sticker and never said anything about them. LOL

Also they are supposed to check the brakes to make sure there is enough pad left and the rotor isnt hacked up. Well all they do is swipe a flashlight on the rotor to make sure its there. LMAO.

Tints are not a factor in NY whether you pass or not for safety inspection.

PA is pretty much the same.. at least in my county.. i took it to an inspection station.. he popped his head out the garage door and simply asked "do all the lights work?" and i said yes he said 20 bucks and heres the sticker.. he didnt say anythin about the 10 fog lights uncovered, cracked windshield, nuthin.. he did take down all the necc info tho..

Sorry to hear man. I took mine to a local gas station and didn't have any tint or HID problems. If you take to the Bronx you'll sure find someone who will do it. Good luck.

i know in NY if your car is new and you go before the first year is up than inspection is only $10. cause all they do is safety inspection.

No doubt to the lack of inspections, it makes it nice to not have to worry about it unless you get pulled over and then 99% of the time they don't check it around here.

You cant get a NJ inspection sticker in NY. LOL

Yes in NYS, we have to pay for a yearly safety inspection and every 2 years registration (except when you buy a new car, the time left on the registration of the old vehicle, carries over to the new one. And for me that was 4 months. LOL).

You have a couple options, either pay someone the 50-100 bucks they want for a inspection sticker, so you pass with tints. Or rip them off yourself, go get inspected, and for 50-75 get new tints. Of course it depends on how old your tints are. If they are like over a year old then rip them off. But if they are a couple months old and still look good, leave them and pay for the sticker.

i use to get pulled over all the time for other stuff (that wasnt in my car) any time of day in my old XJ,ZJ. after they couldnt find anything by searching through my car. they always gave me this excuse as to why i got pulled over....

me asking:

so, why did i get pulled over again?

his answer:

your tints are too dark-

so therefore im not even going to give Poh poh a reason to pull me over in my SRT8.

sorry to rant your thread-

cheers and gl
