What % window tint?
Trying to decide on the window tint% for the front driver/passenger side. It's black on black, so it's already kinda dark, what % do you think will match up the best?

My advice would be to check what is legal in your state and proceed from there. Here in IL if you have privacy glass in the back (SUV, CUV, minivan etc.) 50% on the passenger and driver side windows is the legal limit. I went with the legal % but considered going a bit darker.

Tint stores around here will sell you darker tint of course. It's not illegal to sell darker tint, just to drive in a vehicle with too dark of tint. I had a dark green 2002 A6 and did the legal limit for WA and it looked great. |

rear glasses are factory 20% or there about. i went with 20% on my driver and passenger on a black car. looks great. a bit dark at night but it looks much darker than 35 looked. If 20 may be too dark, go with 35. i have been pulled over once and it was at a checkpoint where the NYPD was specifically looking for things like tint/cellphones/seatbelts and other violations.

Maybe this question was answered already, but just to make sure:
When you have privacy glass in the back, what is the % in the front to match most closely the privacy glass? And is this % legal in California? Many thanks! |

So the true answer is no, it is not legal to have the front tinted at all, much less to match the tinting in the back. From CHP website and confirmed multiple other sources: Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle? The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are: The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting. If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides. The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions. However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced. |
