Default RE: tinting windows

I've got 5% rear and quarters and 25% sides. Max legal here. Cost 100$, kept the car overnight, and the only thing I would do different is have them do double 5 on the back and quarters. here in the south you can spraypaint the rear and quarter glass (not that it would look good, but just to give an idea that yes it can be that dark). Our tint strips on the windshield can only be 4 inches though....but i'll probably tint my windshield 25% and try to get away with it...

When i purchased my car...it already had window tint. I believe it is 13% or some crazy darkness. yes, its very illegal but i've never had any problems. I've been pulled over twice since then and neither had mentioned it. When its bright outside and i pass a cop i tend to roll down my side window just to be safe. I love the darker tint though. It brings the black of the car from the top to the bottom(you can't really see in when up to the glass). the limit for side windows is 50% in Ohio...but i'm in Indiana most of the time where it is 30%. About half the states let you have ANY% for the back. The biggest problem is backing up at night. :P it can get a little hard to see at times

Hmmm...in Texas, front windshield can come down 5 inches. If you have 2 side mirrors, the rear quarters and backglass can be as dark as you want. If you dont, the back and rear quarters get 25% max. Front windows have 25%max.

I have 2.5% on my rear quarters and like 12-13 on the front. Cant remember what it was. Got it inspeced just fine though last week...I brought in my car with the windows rolled down. They didn't check.
