Reply to comment by outcome--independent in Got pulled over for tints today(on 287). Showed the trooper this and he sent me on my way, saying it’s the first time he’s ever seen one by JCisnotNYC

You can't tint the front wind shield and the two front side windows. Cops barely enforce it though. So it's a gamble. Mines are tinted. I figure if I get ticketed every couple of years its worth it 🤷‍♂️

Same with the front license plate: legally you’re supposed to have plates on front and back of cars in nj but I haven’t installed a front plate on any of my cars since 2009 bc fuck that shit.

I haven’t gotten a ticket for lacking a front plate once. Not once.

What’s the issue with having a front plate?

Drilling holes in bumper when you have a nice car. Plus they're ugly.

Actually on one of my old car the factory license plate holder was covering intercooler so not only it was ugly, it was also hindering performance in one way or another.

The hole drilling is the main thing for me.

That and the fact that front plates aren’t universally required kinda makes it obvious no one is dying over the issue. Cops need to see them when they’re talking you. I don’t drive backward that often.
