beware , depending on where you live there could be laws againts certain tints on your windows.

here in missouri its illegal to have anything less that 35% on the front windows, they will issue you a ticket for $150 and make you peel the tint off right there. and they are adamant about enforcement of the tint.

here is a good link http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/

I thought factor windows were 20%.

Most places are as follows:

Back window: No limit
Back side windows: No limit
Front side windows: 50% or higher
Frond window: No limit (first 6 inches from top only)

Factory is 38% I believe. Thats what it comes out on a tint laser, but thats subject to +/- 5%

Really, %50? That's hardly anything lol.


Here the front side windows are %25 I'm pretty sure. None of the cops here really care anyway...I mean, I live in Texas they understand lol. I was safe when I had my cavalier and got %5 on the backs and %15 on the front two and noone ever said anything. My friend has limo tint all the way around his car and he's never been stopped.

its too bad i cant redue my mirror tints on the back windshield, since the law says no limit but i think there is one one how reflective it can be.

some colored cars makes tints look darker then other colored cars, but it would be a good idea to tint the rear windows darker then the front so it can trick po-po

Doesn't work. Generally if they can't see a distinguished outline of the driver then they realize it's too dark.

Montana is 24% for the front windows and 14% for the rear side windows.
