^ Because thats 100% legal. It's only the front side windows or any window forward of the driver's shoulders that is illegal to modify and make darker from what the manf. supplied the car with.

Is it so difficult to understand that tint fines exist primarily for officer safety? Like perhaps when your car gets stolen it might be beneficial to the officer who pulls it over to be able to see if there's a gun pointed at him on the other side of the window?

I think the fine's like $105. The first time I got busted for the thing the cop was curtious enough to rip my tint off and give me a ticket. I'm disputing the fine amount.

I can't tell you for sure what the % is exatcly, but if I can get a car from the dealer with tint on the front windows, then as long as you don't go any darker than the dealer would on the front windows, you're fine... and any cop can gladly argue with me about it, I have won everytime in that senario...

all the local shops keep refusing to tint my driver and passanger side windows, saying its illegal. Is applying tint film really as hard as they make it seem?
