Default Window tint in Cali

This may be a stupid question but what is the legal tint in California. I just got my new baby a week ago and would like to get the windows tinted. She’s a V6 Premium, Tungsten Grey, Pony package with IUP. I live in El Centro, CA, which is 2 hours east on San Diego in the desert, so it gets hot here in the summer and tinting would help a lot. Also if any one knows of a good place to get the tinting done, I don’t mind driving a few hours to have it done. I don’t trust any one local.

Thanks Alot

As far as I know, you can have the rear window and the two rear side windows tinted, but not the windshield or the doors. Your best bet is to check in with the DMV.

Thanks alot guys, I think I'll just stay away from the tint for now. I just don't think it would look right with only the rear windows tinted.
