    well, I'm way past legal... I've even had a cop cup his hands to try to look in say he couldn't see a thing! no ticket though, I think its 15% rear and 30% front. Lots of windows on wagons!

    I noticed something interesting in the illinois tinting laws.

    . If you have an MPV, which include but are not limited to, SUVs, Station Wagons, minivans, Toasters, etc., and said MPV has factory installed privacy glass (smoked), you are allowed to have up to 50% tint in front.

    edit: California has to have 70% on the front sides but the rest of the car can be at whatever level

    Re: Tinting Laws in the US

    yeah $250 sounds about right. i got 5% all around and a pretty nice strip on the windshield. you can pretty much tint your windows as dark as you want except for the two front passenger windows and windshield but it looks great when theyre tinted all around
    I like TURTLES!

    Re: Tinting Laws in the US

    So apparently in PA you can't have ANY tint on your windows. I've had friends that had to remove their tint in front of the cops so they don't get a fine! Not sure if thats true or if the cops in my area are fags. They are dumb, but maybe there going to far.

    Just to clarify - there can be 2 limits - VLT (light transmittance) and reflectivity (both stated in %). Some states only have VLT limits, some have reflectivity limits ("only" or "as well"). Check here...

    I did 18% all around (except windshield of course!) and love the look of it, especially on my white wagon. It's technically illegal in Colorado, but I've even asked a cop I know, and he said that you can still see through it so I shouldn't get any crap about it. Legal limit here is 27%, and it's a noticeable difference, but I took the risk since my son was being blinded in his car seat with no tint at all.
