The law says no tint on the driver and passenger side windows or windshield. You can try, but most people will get a ticket at some point. Good news is that it's not a moving violation and the fine is $75.

You will get a ticket every time you are pulled over $75 each time. You can go to court and fight it, by showing a pic of your car with the tint removed and the ticket miht get thrown out.

Ive got 20% on the sides and 5% on the back, and have had no problems from the cops as of yet. Most people in my area can get away with anything above 20%, but i live in a low crime area and im guessing that has somthing to do with it. Maybe a city like Chicago with more crimes may be more strict on tint.
