tinting void warranty?
so i was talking to a scion guy
and he told me unless i got tints form the dealer then my warranty may be voided
also he told me all products that i install myself.. even a trd air filter.. may void my warranty.
what did you guys do? and are your warranties voided?
my friend did his own springs 20%tints and he says his warranty is probably voided now.

The Only time your warrantee will be voided by anything not purchased/installed at the dealer is if that DIRECTLY is the cause of the failure. Theres a law that states this.. I think it starts with a W but cant remember the law

.. heres an example:
Say u install an Injen Cold Air Intake and 20,000 miles later your engine breaks lets say due to a broken crankshaft... the only way ur warrantee is void is if they find the C.A.I did this and there wud be water in the engine and a white coating in the block to determine this...
I know some1 is going to say they didnt cover it under warantee... I read his entire thread... he took them to court...

Tint voiding your warranty, that is comical. The act itlstl13 is referring to is the Magnusson Moss act.

Don't believe dealers, or cops for that matter. they will lie, especially dears so that you buy all your stuff from them. and i don't know why cops lie, but i've had cops tell me tinting the front two windows is illegal, no matter what %, but in PA it's only illegal if it's darker than 25%. so don't believe dealers or cops.
