Legal Limit on Tint?

[Decipha 10+ year member]

I went to pepboys today and the punk busta fool that was working there told me the legal limit in louisiana for tint is 35% so i went and bought 2 - 35% boxes so i can cover my rear window and the 4 sides. Well i wake up nice and early today i go outside in the extreme heat and i clean my windows really good then i open the tint and i was pissed! The tint is barely dark, its easily visible i wanted something that at least makes it hard to see. Can someone tell me if they know what the legal limit in LA is for tint or how dark your tint is so i at least get an idea?? TIA

35% is fairly visible....that's why most cops won't bother you regardless of the state law.

CA is 70% legal, basically CLEAR. any tint shop around here will laugh at you if you ask for "legal." 30ish percent is considered "medium" and is pretty dang clean imo. i did it for my mom's and sister's rides, no tickets in the past 2 years. try doubling up on the 35% if you dont mind the extra work and risk. if you wanted dark shoulda gone "dark" (10~20%)

The legal limit in most places is 35%. Most people who tint usually go with 20% because you can still see in the car a little. I put 20% on my car and i am happy with it, at night you can't see in at all. Got a roll of 20% at autozone for $12, so try that and see what u think.

Look at my site, the windows have 20 and the back has 10...

hey chris nice camaro and nice tint and nice install in the rear

13% all around, over 2 years, zero hassles from irvine po-lice

another shot of my car with my sister's in the background, he's got 32% all around, my mom does too. If you want clean and good amount dark, i'd recommend medium (30ish%) if you have a black interior. dark (10~20%) for other. i have a friend who has tint like mine all around and his looks way darker with his black interior. my sister's and mom's car also have black interiors making the medium tint look only slightly lighter than mine (i have grey interior)

and i only have more big *** pics cuz i just washed my car and debadged //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif mommys car is in the garage

I Never Once got pulled over for the tint.

Dun worry, if you see a cop just roll the window halfway, and they wont notice it.

Yes - under North Carolina law,
