That is the only reason why a cop may pull someone over here in Oklahoma. If the windshield is tinted. To be on the safe side I haven't done anything on the front.

read the links, 32% back is for aftermarket. a vehicle can be tinted darker in the back before it is delivered from the factory.

no crap a tint shop will tell you anything you want in order to get money out of you. reputable tint shops are few and far between. and yes, a tint shop will do any amount of tint you want, as long as they get paid. it is on you, the consumer, to make sure its legal, not them.

Just went through this with the state of CT on my truck. The officer doing the inspections at the inspection station for the DMV stated:

- Rear windows on vehicles can be as dark as you want. You can paint them black if you so choose to do so, as long as you have BOTH side mirrors on your vehicle. Some vehicles used to only come with one side mirror... don't know why, vehicle looks a little off being unsymmetrical. But I digress...

- On vehicles listed as TRUCKS (light passenger trucks, I think SUV's count but I'm not sure...), windows BEHIND the driver's row of seats can be as dark as you want (yep, invest in another can of black paint... you can do that to the rear side windows as well). Windows in the driver's row of seats can only be a MAX of 35% dark, from factory, aftermarket, or a combination.

- On vehicles listed as CARS (there's a code you can read for the car vs. truck distinction on the door jam, I forget what he said it was for car vs. what it was for truck) ALL side windows can only be a MAX 35% dark, from the factory, aftermarket, or a combination.

Of course, these are only the laws in CT. You'll all have to get pulled over by your own state's oinkers and have them send you to inspection when your tint fails their "tint-o-meters" to ask your own "expert" what the actual laws are in your own place of residence.
