Default No. Not really...
...I'm not sure on the percentages for the rear windows, but I know you're not supposed to tint the windshield or front windows AT ALL. Well, I tinted the fronts, but your're not supposed to. ;-)

Default My Friend had it done on his white E36 Coupe and it looks nice so I want to get that on my car.
He has tint that is all the way around including the front windows. Look nice.

Default Incorrect (more)
CA law -

Any tint on front windows that is darker than 95% light transmission is illegal.

Any tint on rear windows (behind driver and passenger) is legal, any shade.

Default Can cops pull you over for illegal tint?
I am thinking about getting 35% on all windows (except windshield of course).

Default Damn, you're right. I didn't think ANY shade was OK in the back, but here's a link...
