70% is a lot of light but at least you can do the back as dark as you want. that site only shows laws for cars. here in AL on a truck, you can go as dark as 8% on any glass behind the front windows. you should be able to call any local tint shop to get the complete law.

It wont argue with you, it does look nice..

But when the rotting remains of your victims bodies start piling up near the wipers, it'll have a fantastic goth look..

sunshade ... it's removable when you drive and keeps out the sun much better than that tint

5% on the windshield seems like an easy one for the cops. I'm not surprised they just laughed at you.


I think it amounts to idiocy divided by zero.



everybody run!!! the internets are about to implode!!!

dude...you can barely see through the windshield. and if that's in daylight, then you might as well blindfold yourself and get behind the wheel at night.

and cali getting too hot? seriously?

As far as I am concerned... if you continue to drive this car with the current tint... you deserve to have it impounded again. If you are worried about the car getting hot in cali, get one of these



or these



From Amazon

Not that I would put one on my car... but it is sure cheaper than having your car impounded.
