Poll: Fix-It Ticket California Only
Anyone ever got a fix-it ticket for aftermarket stuff? I'm talking about...
HID conversion kits Engine mods Tint or even loud sound systems Let me know if you got tagged by the cops... As for me...i've been driving about 10 years...no Accidents, 1 pull over for warning ( burnt headlight but no ticket ), 1 parking ticket ( $35 bucks ) == http://reviews.ebay.com/Quick-inform...00000000007982 |

One fix-it ticket for 18% front tint, and two warnings. One fix-it for no front plate, and also a couple warnings.

totally unheard of out here. just go to a softball game on the weekends and see all the sheriffs vehicles with tint, aftermarket parts, etc. mostly american cars. all they care about really are your actions, or if your an obnoxious ricer, etc. otherwise - if your respectfull you fly under the radar.
You always run into highway patrol or sheriffs @ kragen or auto zone getting parts for there cars. when they drive off its usually a modified mustang or a classic american muscle car. many enthusiest here who are also in law enforcement. close friend is highway patrol - he seconds that statement as well. 17 cruisers in the area, 6 years - no ticket on any of our tinted vehicles. must be the 110+ degree heat in the summer that makes it comon? |

$575 fix-it-ticket for tint.....like 7-8 years ago......
because i didn't take care of it in time......had to go to court..... judge was cool........he let me off with $275(i think....it was 50% discount) cause i showed proof that the tint was taken off......

you guys mentioned without fixing it...
usually the fix-it ticket will require that someone take a look at the car, verify that it has been removed, and then you're off the hook. Am i right??

As for the license plate fix-it tickets, do you guys know if it'll be good enough to just use some strong double sided tape to hold it on long enough to get it inspected, then just rip it off again?

it comes off pretty easily, but do it enough and you bend the license plate all out of shape. |

it's generally $10 for a fix it, but there are sometimes hidden fees, like "clerk fees" or "inspection fees".
My one front plate ticket was $25, and my one tint ticket (my previous ride had reflective 10% all windows) was $10, plus $20 to get the tint off. Matt |
