Right, so usually if people's phones even ring while I am interviewing them, they are done.

I am not sure if this group deal tinting thing is a good idea. I'd hate for them to be pressed by time and mess up the tint installation on our cars. Then we'll have to go back and have it redone...

Ok Folks,

I don't want to discourage you about getting tint, but here is where we stand on tint:

http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local...-92929004.html

Its so messed up that it will actually take a lawsuit and a judge to order the city to reverse this Home rule.


I am still planning to get tint, but now I need to decide if I am going to do all windows or leave the front ones untinted.

Don't know if this helps anyone decide, but I had a 01 540i before my 335d and it had a 25% metallic tint on the front and rear. Never got a ticket and kept the car cool. Basically looked OEM as it matched the sunroof tint.

Did get a few tickets for not having a front plate WHILE PARKED but was able to get out of them with a nice photo of the plate taped to the front. Might work for tinting as suggested earlier

It is a huge inconvenience to have to mess with though...I think the key is to make it light (15%-25%) and look OEM.

For my 335d I am waiting until I move out of Chicago in a couple of years to put a tint back on, just don't have time to keep appealing every ticket.

Good luck to everyone else though...Fight the Power

There is a good way to avoid to get a ticket while your car is parked. By parking your car in those garage building , fucking no life cops probably so busy giving out tickets on the street and forget about you.... spend about 15 buck/hour.. every time..chicago police is awesome known to be assholes.better than spend 250 dollar and get fucked up... this rule is really BS.. Chicago think they are so awesome and can make up their own rule above state law... this is just BS

I am exploring another avenue:

Those laws and regulations actually apply to public roads. The way I see it, they do not apply on private property. This, theoretically means that if you park your car in downtown inside of a parking building or other private parking facility, they can't enforce those tickets. If you however park on the street with parking meters, they can enforce the ticket.

I wrote a letter to all 40 Alderman's offices trying to get one of them to slip. We'll see what happens..
