theres no tint meters here. the law is the front windows are NOT to have any tint at all. (so not legal at all at the time of the install.) the back windows you could paint black if you wanted too.
so if cars are passing state inspection the law must have changed. the car in the next lane had 20% easy on the front windows, he passed too. i have 35 up front, to keep it lighter looking, 20% on the backs, and a 5% brow on the windshield.
the only 2 times ive been pulled over in this car were both for the tint.
