yeah, i just learned the other day that CT also needs to have all the aftermarket tints tested by the DMV or DOT to get a cert. sticker for each tested window. The officer i was talking to said dont worry about it since no one ever does it, hah.

27% on the fronts in SC......

I paid someone to do the wifes and was told only 35%....:mad: But they also said the rear could be as dark and wanted, so I added 5% to the stock 20% and that can only be 27% also....:wtf: Oh well, after 3.5 years, not been pulled over yet in any state it's travelled though.

Did do 20% on the front of the truck and the HHR and additional 20% to all rear windows. Have not been pulled over for tint yet.

You are right, at least by my standards. Its hard enough for me to see out at night with limo tint, even with the windows down, much less with a tinted windshield. I have decided against it.

mn has some stupid laws too, 50% on side windows, but on a pickup the back window and the ext cab windows can legally painted black...not cars though....my advice, put tint on and get a ticked - pay it! then put on as dark as you want - tint isnt a moving violation, my buddy had 50% on his ss and got a ticket, then he went with the 2.5% and they cant do jack

:LOL: That doesnt make sense. So they can ticket you once and thats it? If they give you a ticket here for tint, and you strip it, pay it, and get it done again, they'll just give you another ticket. :LOL:

Just in case I'm not the only bum in Rhode Island...This site is not up to date. According to RI state law, NO aftermarket tint is legal...only tint from the manufacturer is allowed(must be sandwiched inside the glass), unless you have a medical permit. They changed the law when a cop was shot and killed through a tinted side window. The rest of you guys should check with your own state's website...usually a link off of the DMV section

Oooo, 27 is the legal limit now for all windows in SC. Use to be the rear 3 could be whatever you wanted, or the back of a pickup window could be whatever you watned.

update to the California law

CVC 26708 (d) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), clear, colorless, and transparent material may be installed, affixed, or applied to the front side windows, located to the immediate left and right of the front seat if the following conditions are met:

(1) The material has a minimum visible light transmittance of 88 percent.

(2) The window glazing with the material applied meets all requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205 (49 C.F.R. 571.205), including the specified minimum light transmittance of 70 percent and the abrasion resistance of AS-14 glazing, as specified in that federal standard.

(3) The material is designed and manufactured to enhance the ability of the existing window glass to block the sun's harmful ultraviolet A rays.

(4) The driver has in his or her possession, or within the vehicle, a certificate signed by the installing company certifying that the windows with the material installed meet the requirements of this subdivision and identifies the installing company and the material's manufacturer by full name and street address, or, if the material was installed by the vehicle owner, a certificate signed by the material's manufacturer certifying that the windows with the material installed according to manufacturer's instructions meets the requirements of this subdivision and identifies the material's manufacturer by full name and street address.

(5) If the material described in this subdivision tears or bubbles, or is otherwise worn to prohibit clear vision, it shall be removed or replaced.

So the "70%" previously stated is not accurate. Anything on your front three windows (windshield, driver and passenger) would make it a violation. The stuff from GM is 8% already, so you only have 4% to work with to stay within the 88% transmittance requirement from subdivision 1. Furthermore, any time I've had my windows tinted the place makes me sign a release saying the tint is unlawful. This section also tells you where you can put decals and stickers on your windows.

(I use tint as probable cause if I don't have anything else to stop someone for. I went with the 35% so I can still be seen when I'm inside, making the locals a little less nervous when they pull me over at night.)

There are no restrictions in Utah for rear and rear/side windows... hello blackout! Front/sides can be 56%.

Cops are pretty lax around here about tint, kid I know has limo tint all the way around, and has the windshield tinted to the line on his '04 Silverado, no problems with him...

almost any clear glass out there on any vehicle/truck already has between 88%-70%. The law states no more than 70% guess what, clear is that. so anything applied over that will be illegal here in killa kali.

so lets assume you have 70% on your glass now. if you apply a 70% film it will actually convert down to 49%. how do you calculate that? .70X.70= .49 so more like 50%. so before applying film to your windows take into consideration you already have at least 70% darkness on your windows. Factory tinted windows forSUV's/trucks are between 15%-20%. The way to determine that is to go to a local tintshop and meter your windows:cool:

Docs note. I got one for the shield, but havent have the loot to tint it yet.

So f***'em. When they pull you show them the affadavit signed by your optometrist. If you gotta go to court, you'll win, everytime.

Docs note must be updated every 2 years, and kept in the vehicle that the tint exemption applies to. I also have a copy of the section of the law that shows I'm exempt. So if they try to dik me I can prove to them I'm legal. And use the text DIRECTLY from their website.

Fine is SC is $440 for tint violation. More than likely reduced when you go court. Then retint, but gotta watch it. ONLY, and I mean ONLY State Troopers will get you for tint. I've been hassled by local cops with windows all the way up (2.5 sides, 35 shield, 2.5 over 20 on rear) and they didnt even look twice at the windows.

Stockchevy , to get a medical form , it has to come from a Doctor. Say you have skin cancer or somethinglike that . You`d have to get it from the Doc and take it to the state , kinda a hassle but you can get whatever you want on your cars/trucks , but you still can get stopped , but you show the police the form and you go on your way.... Has it`s pros and cons.... but if you want to be legal to have as dark as you want you have to go through all this...

yea, i literally cannot see sh!t behind me out the back window, and at night i can just barely make out headlights if i turn around and look out it, thats why someone got payed multi millions to invent side view mirrors

I saw you're from the other side of the state, if you go on http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/FL/ the site says that the windows cant be any darker then 15% on the back side windows. I'm thinking about asking for 15% on the sides of my rcsb. Depending on how dark my back window is now..Its just a bit lighter then I would like.

I have 5% all around and 35% on the windshield, its perfect IMO. I havent had any trouble from houston cops either. Just be sure to have HIDs otherwise seeing at night is a bit difficult :eek:

i just got 5% on all my windows except fronts, they are 20. ...want 5% on fronts, as well as 35% windshield...

I SENT ONE OF MY FRIENDS BACK TO ALABAMA LIKE THAT. LOOKS GOOD ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A BLACK TRUCK WITH NICE PAINT. LOOKS LIKE YOUR WINDOWS ARE PAINTED. CAN SIT IN IT WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON & STILL CAN'T SEE IN.

Just got a ticket here in MN because is back window is 15% but the side windows are legal. Have had the car for 7 years and got pulled over twice in two months for it. How hard it is to remove tint???

I hear ya. Had a camaro that had 15% all round (except windshield) and I got pulled over all the time. But then again the 4" cowl and the "Arrest-Me" yellow paint didn't help much either, LOL. My buddy tried peeling off his tint after gettin busted in his 94 x-cab, i looked like complete ****! the adhesive stuck all over and we couldn't get it off. Not to mention it had like upholstery fibers stuck everywhere!

For you guys with tinted windsheilds and a Medical exemption, that exemption DOES NOT apply to the windsheild. The VLT`s on windsheilds fall under Federal mandates, and no medical exemption supercedes a Federal law. Not a big deal to most, but just wanted to let ya`ll know that even though you have that exemption slip, you could get a ticket.

I plan to tint my car 20% all around and 50% on the windshield, NH will love that. I think we have the most strict laws on tint out of any of the other states I clicked on.

Just alittle heads up, there is a new legislation in the Senate ( Texas ) to make the law from 25% to 35% NET( lighter )
Granted I dont think it will pass , ever couple of years some Senator gets a hair up their butt and tries this.
If passed it will take affect Sept. 1st affecting cars and trucks purchased after the bill takes affect.
But like I said doubt it will take. Since I do this I`ve seen this several times all the years I`ve been tinting.

in VA, you can have the rear side and rear windows tinted as dark as you want on SUVs and vans. they forgot to mention that so just thought id let everyone know...

05-20-2009, 08:03 PM
I'm pretty sure that nationwide, if you own a van you can black out the windows. Granted you have the appropriate mirrors to pass the DOT visibility tests. Not 100%, but pretty sure

SC tint laws, nothing on the windshield, 27% on the driver and passenger side, and on any back windows anything you want. but if you have tinted windows, you're required to have side mirrors, dont know why you wouldn't have them already but.

NC is the same thing but 35% instead of 27%

Texas is 35% on front windows and you can black out all the rest as long as you have both side mirrors. GOD BLESS TEXAS!! :texas: I have 5% on front doors and 2 1/2% over the stock privacy glass on all the rears. A/C went from maintaining 73 degrees on a 100 degree day to 65

Maine your tint has to be 50% all around and you have to have it certified maine blows

All true....and make sure you have that butt-ugly front license plate on too. I swear, Maine doesn't want clean looking rides in it's state.

Michigan's laws are a joke!! I run tint on all of my vehicles. Limo all the way around. The last cop that stopped me said the tint law was for officer safety, I told him to go train in another state that allows tint so he would feel safer. Needless to say I got more than a tint ticket that day!!
