Default Tint

So I'm 2 months over due on my inspection. Thankfully I have my bike so I can avoid getting yanked for some bs ticket. I'm trying my hardest to avoid taking my tint off. I've called and attempted many local inspection stations, All to no prevail. Curious If anyone is in the field, or knows someone who would take some cash to get it passed. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

Scatter brained right now.. Just realized title has nothing to do with post..

I met a guy recently (after I had to retint my car..) who says he knows where to go for inspections... PM me for more info. I am not sure where hes located but I am assuming North ATX.

I don't know where you guys are at, because it doesn't show it on my phone. In guessing either austin or san Antonio but if its san Antonio I know a guy on the northeast part of town that'll pass you no matter what. If you guys need his 411 just reply to me on here and ill pm you cause I usually don't check my inbox.

I've always taken my cars to the Valvoline shop on 281 & Thousand Oaks. They never look at window tint or the gas cap, which a lot of other places do. Just take your car there with the top down and windows rolled down, and I bet they'd never even think to look at your side windows.
