Pretty sure in some places you can go as low as 5%. In Indiana you can get a Dr. note to get it that low if you have some type of eye condition. I think the legal limit is actually 15-20% though.

The same goes for Illinois too. You can't have any on your front-side windows unless you have a Dr.'s Prescription. (If your vehicle's older than '81 you can tint all the windows legally)

Here's something really screwed up. I got a ticket for 20% on my side windows (on the old 97 6banger) in FLORIDA of all places Florida's supposed to be like Nevada and not give a squat!
Plus, it wasn't even a "fix-it ticket" just a fine (I think it was $60). Friggin' robbery. I think the city just needed the money - I left the tint on and was never harassed again. Go figure

Speaking of that, there is/was (haven't seen the car in awhile) a guy in town with triple limo (2% or 5%?) on every window, including the front windshield in his black Celica.

Although I never talked to the guy, I heard he had a skin disease where he couldn't be exposed to sunlight. I don't know how true that was, but the only time I ever saw him driving around with his windows down, it was at night.

I'll tell you this, though: That car looked so incredibly awesome. I could not see in, nor could I see light on the other side of the car through the windows. He had some clean aftermarket 18s, black car with BLACK tint. Geez.

Alabama

Visor.......6"
Front doors.....32%
Rear doors.....32%
Back window....32%

You will NOT get a ticket for 20% if the rule is 32%. In Houston, I've seen turquoise blue cop cars with Houston PD written on them.....with 5% tint on all the side and back windows! No wonder people don't get tint tickets in this humid hotter than hell city.

If I can get away with 35% in a place that doesn't allow any tint on the doors (not even with a doctor's note), you'll do fine with the 20%.


Florida
Visor.............as1
Front doors...........70%
Rear doors.........Any
Back window............Any

^^^ Does this seem insane to anybody else?

Nevada has the best laws of any state:

front doors: 27%
rear doors, back window: anything

Why does Hawaii not let you go darker than 35% on any window?

That's why I live in California and registered my car in Nevada.

That would be freaking crazy. What happens if the guy pulls over, if he rolled down his window for the cop he'd melt like a vampire! Haha.

There are diseases like that. If you've seen "The Others", that's a realy disease the kid's had. So he could have something like that.
