Yea it's 35% in MA and the front windows have something like 93%-95% so if you were to tint your windows and you did 35% you wouldn't pass inspection because there's already that little bit on there and it would be like 30%. I'm gonna go with 50% because I don't think there's anything in between.

^^^ Yeah I had a stripped window tested it read 87%

With 20% it reads 15-17%

With 2 layers of 2.5, it reads 0.0% and you should see the cops reactions.

I run 5% all the way around from 2004 to now, but I'm going a different route this next go around. Either 50% or 35% on the windshield with 20% on the fronts and 5% on the backs.

6 window, and 3 eyebrow tickets later....

In MN, you can tint all of the windows on a truck as dark as you want except the windshield and the driver/passenger side windows.
