Louisiana allows for a "brow" on the upper portion of the windshield not to extend further than 6" below the roofline of the vehicle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

No state that I am aware of allows for tinting the entire front windshield but, just like so many other current laws, in many places it can end up being what I call a "law of convenience," or one that cops will only bother to enforce when they need a valid reason to pull you over just to f*ck with you.

Read the law, it states it right there, don't try and argue facts, it'll only make you look more like a fool.

Please sir..make me look like a fool. I only tinted for 8 years..I think I know the laws.

You cannot tint a full windshield even if you have a medical condition. In Iowa you cant have anything below 70% (factory glass) on the front windows and even with a wavier you can only go down to 35%.

Of course it just depends on if a cop wants to be a dick or not. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You can't argue with a law book, I'm sorry.

You can't argue with a law book, I'm sorry.

Consult your State officials...ask them if 5% is legal on the windshield..even with a note. I never said you cannot tint a windshield...I have done this before(with medical exemption), I said you are restricted on darkness of tint on front windshield.

I agree with the dude with the book. You can have a windshield tint even without a script, not leaglly though. With a script you can get i know 20% on the front maybe lower and 5% everywhere else. So dude i dont care what you did for eight years, it wasnt tinting windows.

 

[avs20 10+ year member]

Ok. "not legally though". Please kid, go back to high school. I had my own business for years, I think you can shutup and go back to throwing up your gang signs with your type-r. People who know nothing are hilarious.

thats not a gang sign //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif 2 in the pink 1 in the stink FTW!

I have had 5% on all windows for over a year and have been pulled over twice...

The law says you are exempt from the VLT limitations as previous stated in the defined sections. There is no specific's on what percentage you can get with the exemption, so your argument is irrelevant

 

[Bolognablake 10+ year member]

I've had 50% on my windshield before. Anything darker starts to mess with your visability at night.

Anyway, with 50% on the windshield, 15% on the fronts and 5% on the back, nobody can see in your car. No need to go darker.

ive posted this before.....

All this was taken from http://www.tintdude.com/laws.html

I recommend that you look at the violation codes. Just scroll half way on the page and click on the state you live in it should look like this:

A to H I to M N to O P to W

There are some harsh laws so check them out for your state before doing any tinting.

These laws may not be current and are often enforced differently by different PD's. In all cases, refer to you local authority for enforcement policies, current laws, rules or regulations. Your current state law is the final authority, not this website! The numbers represent the percentage of light transmitted through the tinted glass, so the lower the number, the darker the film allowed. Generally the films are sold as 5%(limo), 20%(dark), 35%(medium), 50%(light).

S.U.V.s often have different regulations, which are not listed here.
