Here in Kentucky I believe the law is 35% on front, 25% on back windows. I went 15% all the way around, and have never been hassled about it, I've never heard of anyone around here getting tickets for tint. Of course, I'd say in metropolitan areas they'd be much more strict.

The cops here will rip your tint OFF if it is too dark
I don't see how it's legal for the cops to vandalize your car if the tint is too dark. Couldn't you just get up into their faces about it?

I understand if they write you a ticket for it being too dark, whatever, fair enough, but to just rip off or scratch your tint or whatever is ridiculous. I think I would have a definite problem with any cop who tried to pull that because my tint wasn't the legal %.

Wisconsin law is 35 in the back and 50 in the front. I never had a problem with my srt. I was pulled over a few times for my exhaust but they never said anything about my tint. I had 20 all the way around. If I were you I would wait until it gets warmer. Also, if you dont want to go to dark but want a nice looking tint go with 35 it will look darker just because less light is coming in because your windows are so small in teh back.
I also had 20 all the way around on a couple cars, no problems in WI.

i live in iowa and we aren't really allowed to do anything less than factory on the front but i just had my rears done to 5 % they don't care about the back ones i could spray paint them if i really wanted to. i am actually surprised as to how well i can see out the back ones at 5 % but i love it

Looked into tinting yesterday. Wisconsin is tough on tints. The tint guy said don't do it......esp. with a Torch Red SuperCharged Stang
Couldn't agree more LOL I went 35% (and not 20 like I wanted to) for this exact reason.[&:]
