tint in california
i was just wondering for those who live in CA or any police...what is the law on tint for the driver and passenger windows. ive read places that 70%of sunlihgt has to go through but i want to kno for sure wat the legal limit is before i go get my tint

I thought it was anything behind the drivers and passengers front window can be completely blacked out...
just NOTHING on the front passenger / drivers side window's & windshield lower then 4" from the top...

Technically, no tint at all is allowed on the front windows. Any other windows can be tinted as dark as you want as long as you have side mirrors.
Will this law stop people from getting tint on their cars? Prolly not.
Do what you wanna do, just be aware that you are taking a risk (however slight it may be) of getting pulled over if you have tint on the fronts.

Isn't it true that you can't get pulled over for tint alone? I thought it was a secondary offense (sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology), in that you would need to do something else like speeding etc to get pulled over, THEN get a ticket for tint? Maybe this differs by state...

Nope Cops can pull you over for just tint, but they normally dont waste there time for that

So yes, you can be pulled over for the tint. Just know what you're getting into.

Anyway, I'm going to a couple tinting places within a week or so to see the difference between 70%, 50%, and 35% VLT (what I had on my Accord). I liked how 35% looked, but it was a little difficult to see outside at times. I'll probably jump on the 50.

Good to know, thanks guys. I've had tint on 2 other cars, and never been pulled over / cited for it at all, so I was just wondering. Getting the tint done on the coupe tomorrow morning, hopefully won't get pulled over!
