Hello everyone,

My inspection is due to expire next month and I am trying to find out what to do. I have 20% on the front windows and 5% on the back. I don't even know if that is illegal or not. I am getting mixed responses. Does anyone know for sure if it is legal or not? I have been pulled over twice for speeding with this tint and no ticket for it. If it is illegal any suggestions for passing? I am in the North Houston area if that helps any. Thanks guys.

Edit: I found this http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/vi/Misc...htm#inspection. So does this mean I am able to pass inspection but it is technically illegal? I am kind of confused on this.

 

You're fine. Don't worry about your tint. You can tint your rear's however you want, and the fronts are fine.

 

^^^ agree but some cops are @$$'s an stop u for anything they dont see fit for a car... but most the time 5%tint is ok for the back but the front windows are supposed to be no less than 25% but everyone i know who has tint has 5% all around including me...

 

i do state inspections, and it can not be less than 20% on the front windows. you can paint everything else and it doesn't matter.

 

Cool, thanks for the replies guys.

 

where in texas are you? I know a buddy of mine that does state inspection.

 

here is a question thats state specific. I am picking up a couple of parts to all go on in the spring, and I am doing a full exhaust for sure but I am wondering .. will I still pass smog in Dallas/texas with just that one cat removed... ???

 

i am in denison, next to lake texoma.

we do not do emissions testing here, but you cannot remove any of the cats and still pass. sorry.

 

well.... thanks for the info.. but that brings up the next question.... does anyone know any .......... friendly shops for when it comes time to pass that state inspection moment?? ?

 

lol im sure everyone knows someone wit ''freindly'' shops for such a thing.. but its somthing i personally dont like to mention to ''others'' or out in public unless your someone i know personally.....

 

your car will pass the emissions test as long as the check engine light is off , thats all they check on the newer cars and yes i have a hook up just incase it's needed .

 

see..... now thats love

 

no emission test here in my county too lol. You should be fine the tint. Exhaust are fine as long as you dont throw code/ check engine light

 

Will a cold air intake pass emissions?

 

if its all you have then it should

 

just for the skeptics, you can follow this link:

Here's a hint.....Depending on what time of year you have to get the inspection, just roll in with your front windows down. They won't even know how dark they are.
