Failed inspection in Charlotte, NC . Need local help plz
 

I live in MD and car is registered in NC. My window tint is 30% and failed inspection. Don't want to pay 100 to take off. Do u guys know any inspection shop that can basically sign me off since I don't live in NC anyway?? Any other way around this crap?? Thanks

why do you have to pay to take it off? theres no DIY on removing tints?

i guess it would be called a UIY (Undo it yourself). i searched around on googled and found a lot of vids and articles of how to remove your tints. If you're trying to find a plass to pass your inspection, can't help you there.

Idk know man, I only can stay here for 2 days and don't know what to use to take tint off. I need to pass inspection to be able to renew my tag and it's expiring in 1 month. FML

Materials:

* Warm sunny day
* Tarp
* Large plastic garbage bag
* Undiluted Ammonia
* Windex (a glass cleaner)
* Paper towels
* Fine steel wool
* Razor blades

That sux man. I'm planning on taking the tint off in 2013 (when I get inspection) and have the shop put it back again the same week. Sometimes, if you tell your tint shop you're going to have the tint put on in their shop, they may waive the removal fee completely. In my area, if I do go to these "special" shops for inspection with tint, it costs 100-120 anyway. So, I rather get new tint for $175.

Good luck man.

Wait, what? Why do you have to get it inspected in MD if the car is registered in NC?

No, it is inspected in NC and I failed lolz

I would check around some auto shops that do inspections.

Im sure one will take your money!

^ yeah there's gonna be a shop that won't be as anal, don't give up after first try.

nc window tint laws suck

No need to remove tint.

There is no law that states you even have to have side windows.....

Roll the windows down, remove the fuse for the power windows, tell them the power windows went out, get inspected, leave, put fuse back in, roll windows back up.

Inspected. ;)

They will most likely know what you're up to, but it doesn't matter, not illegal to have broken power windows.


And we call that "STICKING IT TO THE MAN!"

I like the way this man thinks.

nice lol, here in NJ i think we can only fail inspection now for emissions. i think tint maybe still be illegal but passable in inspection like in PA

<== noob

how do I remove the fuses?
