uh oh, what happened??

I am about to get those same wheels, were they staggered sizes? do they sit well in there? my stock wheels seem like the sit too far inside the fenders, was thinking about wheel spacers even.

unless these charcoal staggered ones come out more flush to the fender?

First, welcome to the site!

As for the tint, I had an issue with my SRT8 passing as well. I just went on a Saturday to a Quik Kar Lube place hen they were really busy and rolled in with all the windows down. Since it was hot outside and the kid was busy he didn't even think about rolling them up to test them.

looks like its gonna work out very nice, moving up to a 2013 with the new body changes is very very cool... love the front end and hood vents...

There is a window tint shop off Cooper St that also does inspections. They are located by the car wash/pep boys if I remember correctly.

Btw, welcome. I'm "local" to you as well (Eastchase/I-30)

Agreed. 10 years ago I wouldn't have cared about going through the extra trouble of inspection challenges, but not anymore. The easier the better. lol.
