Tinting windows/Owner is what I do for a living. And California has written their law so that absolutely nothing is allowed on the front rollups of any vehicle, if it isn't basically completely clear (has to meter at 70% or higher) it is illegal. Alot of clear factory, untinted glass has enough of a "tint" to it already that it will meter as low as 70% with nothing applied to it.

Basically, you guys had a tint hating natzi write your tint law.

man forget the law, i see so many car getting tinted and be fine with it, I thought the windshield doesn't matter how dark it is, only the side roll window should be higher than 70%.

Tinted windshields at night = hope you have bright lights. I have 20% all the way around on my 240, and it kinda sucks. My windshield has a strip, but that's it. I'm going to do 35% on the 7 real soon.

That's a great plan...until you have to pay to take it off after you paid to have it put on.

most likely that you got a ticket because the front windshield not suppose to be tinted and i think its too dark for your side window too. I saw your car in that thread from the link you provided, well I'm tinting dark in the back and slightly on the side window.

I have darker than legal tint on my vehicles as well not much just 10% darker than the law but still illegal, but if I have to remove it it will only cost me like 10 bucks to put it back on. Professional grade window tint is less expensive than the stuff you buy at walmart, you are paying 95% labor when a tint shop tints your car, so make sure they do it right!!!

I dont see why anyone would want to tint the front windshield anyway, it looks terrible.
