Soo.. That time is coming where I need my annual state inspection (TX) just worried about the front window tint. Any other fellow Texans have some advice. I live in Friendswood near Houston. Would like to find a place that will just pass me.

More than that I just don't want to tell my wife that she was right :sorrysign:and I shouldn't have had the front windows at 5%.

Peel the fronts then just get them redone if you have to. Luckily they don't care here majority of the time.

The dreaded inspection. I always get my car 2 year inspected then go straight to the tint shop after I buy the vehicle lol.

I think its like any state that has a state inspection - As long as you know a guy, you're good. But they definitely are getting harder on the inspectors NOT to pass vehicles with too dark front tint.
