It depends what state you are in , the back windows come from factory tinted glass.
They made the front as close as possible. The police around here [DFW] have a light meter, the slide it on your window and if it passes ok, if not TICKET.
Take the tint off in so many days, revisit the court.

Yup, that's the way it is in TX. In CA they'd just pull you over and ticket you and then you could try to prove your tint was legal with a light meter.

Anyways, the rears are just slightly darker than allowed in TX. Last time I got the darkest allowed in TX (35% I think?) so that I could pass inspection. In the rear it's either 15 - 20% as already mentioned.

so what was the price?
