Default Re: Factory Window Tint % ?

Texas used 35% driver door and 35%-20% on other windows, however, the Texas Traffic handbook states one can go as low as 25 on ALL windows, including the driver side. The back can go to limo tint-5%.

Most officers do not like not seeing inside when they make a traffic stop. Made on once and the driver informd me he did not use any tinting. He spray painted the windows.
I kept him company while he removed the paint from the driver side window.

I may be mistaken but I thought if it was factory, it didn't matter. Hence, if I ever had the urge to go darker, I think I'd just have darker, factory windows (if available) installed.

Of course in PA, most anything aftermarket that you do to a vehicle is technically illegal. I suppose it depends on how much time the locals have on their hands...

I had 35% 3M put on my front windows over a year ago. Just slightly lighter tint than rear windows, no problems.

Depends on your state Anti, I live in AL and the state has a tint law that discriminates, if you live in AL then you have one rule if your from out of state you fall under a diffrent category. You can go to court and beat it quite easily. (I've had to go twice so far, not in my hummer though)

Georgia had a similar law that (I believe the last year or two?) was struck down just for that reason.

If your stopped out of state you can go to court and fight using the interstate transportation act that you should not be jugdged under the state you are passing through but from your home state. And you can get the charges dismissed that way also. Couple of ways to beat it.

Main thing is to not give them a reason to stop you in the 1st place.
