Window Tinting
So I know some of you have the windows on your S tinted. Well, while cleaning in my room, I found a new box of extra large size Limo Dark window tint. I guess it's from when I did the windows on my Cavalier. Anyway, does anybody know the new laws on window tint? I remember that you could only have the back windows tinted, couldn't have any of the front windows tinted or it could be very light. This is 20% film, so I'm not sure if that is going to be illegal or not. What tint does everyone have and have you been ticketed or bothered by law enforcement about it?

illegal. i have 20% on my front and on the rear on my hardtop. rear you can go with anything but the driver and passanger is 35% per missouri law. i got pulled over and had a cop test mine and said that it was illegal, but he didnt give me a ticket on it at all. majority of the time the cops dont care b.c its an equipment violation and cant make the city/county any money.

Rear window can be as dark as you want but the front driver and passenger have to be at least 35%. A friend who does window tint says they are cracking down now on it.
The owner of the shop actually got a visit from the locals about it. So they're being more careful about how they tint now. Have to remember it's more of a safety issue for the officers. They need to be able to see inside the vehicle when approaching it.

On another note... It does a really nice job from shielding you when truck lights are pulling up behind you.

I have 2% on my car according to the officer friendly that pulled me over and ticketed me for it about 3 weeks ago.. It is a pain in the rear to drive at night time with the windows up, you have to roll the windows down to make turns and such. I want it off to be honest. I have nothing to hide.

35% is legal - you need a "note from your doctor" if you want to go higher...
