Due to my window tint. I have my fronts to match the hardtop tint, and the guy says it's too dark. Wondering if I'll get any crap from him if I go back with the doors and top off?? He didn't charge me, so maybe I should try another place with the doors off???? Just need some sort of proof that top and doors can legally be removed when driving, cause they probably don't know the law concerning doors themselves...
Didn't pass inspection

The door off legality question has been asked before. It states somewhere in your US motor vehicle regulations (might be federal) that vehicles that are designed with doors that can be easily removed using simple hand tools can legally be driven with doors off. Someone else may remember the thread. That's a good point about the mirrors. I think some states need just drivers side others require both side mirrors.

Grab some morotcycle mirrors to stick on there. Get the ones that bolt into the door hinge holes.
i was a texas inspector up until a couple of years ago, and unless something has changed, a vehicle only needed 1 mirror that could view 200 feet to the rear. did not matter if it was inside or outside.
and i don't remember if doors/window were required or not, i guess i never ran into that.

I would do the right thing and either remove the tinting or replace it with a lighter tint that is legal. Tints that are too dark are illegal for a reason, police can't see in when they approach a car which means they could get shot by the gun they can't see behind the tint. Do the right thing.

Might also point out that the cops approaching that illegal tint window are gonna be in a far worse mood than ones coming up to a legal tint... No doubt they are aware of the dangers too.... You are less likely to get shot accidentally or get a ticket on purpose....Jerry Bransford said:
By the time you go cheap mirrors you could go cheap retint... Check the law and comply sounds good to me....
Nevermind, you go right ahead and do whatever you want to do.Gabe said:
