I have 5% on all windows, and 35 on the windshield.

If you want to know about laws for your state this should help....

One thing I love is being military. I actually in a sense get my cake and eat it too .
I have a Calif license (It's indefinate/NO Expirationas long as I'm active duty) since that's where I started. I'm a resident of Washignton State (Home of residence) and NO state taxes. Cars are registered in Kansas since that's place of purchase.
The ONLY problem is that Washington State and Kansas ONLY allow 35% tint all around. I do like Calif's of ANY darkness on everything except for the fact of ONLY 70% on the driver's and passenger's windows [:@]. Basically with Calif's law, you can't touch your driver's or passenger's front windows. [&o]
I'm currently searching for the best way to get around this issue in a legal, legitimate, and up and up mannerwithout having to change my records of residence. [sm=drlove.gif][sm=yeahsmile.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=gears.gif][sm=americanasmiley.gif]

Cali's a hell of a lot better than NY. I'm military too. AZ license that expires in 2051, 50 bucks for state taxes... but I pay NY insurance. which is only 120 a month for full coverage and $100 deductible. Tint laws in NY suck tho. Can only do 30% round

i have mine at 20% all the way around. have to roll down the windows sometimes depending on where i am backing out at. love them. second car that i have ever tinited the windows on. would like to go darker but the law in tn is that 35% on all windows on cars and 35% on front two windows of trucks and you are allowed to go triple limo if you want for all the other windows on a truck. i have been pulled over numerous times and not one cop yet has mentioned a thing about how dark the windows are. might just go to 15% all the way around when i re-tent them here in the near future.

I tinted my windows because my leather seats were getting dry already after like 2 months of owning my new car. It should also keep my car from getting extremely hot this summer while parked at places with no shade.
Not sure what you mean by "What's the big deal?" I have mine tinted because I live in Florida where it is hot as hell and the tint made a HUGE difference in how hot the car was inside after sitting in sun. My car is garage kept when not being driven and my leather is already drying out regardless of how much conditioner has been put on it.

For some they do it for the looks, I did it for the functionality of it

Whats a good tint to have on back thats dark enough to look good but not so dark you cant see when your backing up?
I asked the dealer that installed mine to put what is LEGAL in ALL states so that regardless of where you go it won't be a problem. A good installer also puts a sticker in the door jamb that states the tint meets all legal criteria.
