    I live in California, Bay Area to be exact.

    Rear windows = 5% 3M
    Front windows = 50% 3M
    Price: $200

    Never had any Cop say shit to me. Been pulled over once for not having plates (shortly after I brought the truck) and didn't mention anything about the front tints because I rolled down all windows as a courtesy to the Officer.

    Before the Taco., I drove a Ford Fusion with 20% tint all around. Also never had any Cop say shit...

    Maybe it's because I got a few Marine stickers and the American flag on my rear window.

    I've seen a few rice rockets around here with 5% tint all around. I wonder how long before they get that ticket...

    Cops usually don't hassle nice vehicles. Only shady/skanky vehicles. My buddy is always getting hassled by the cops (3 color shitty ricer with 50% tint on side windows) and I never get looked at ( blue chevy trail blazer stock, with 25% side windows to match rear) As long as your truck isn't slammed to the ground, rolling on chrome 20s or bro'ed out, and you drive with respect to others 30-40% will be fine.

    Depends on your area. My car was a standard dodge intrepid. A friend of mine's daughter drove a Jetta. She got her ticket 1 week after putting tint on her car.

    As others have said, Cali is 0% legal on the front. I used to run 5% on my old rides and got hasseled all the time. Now I run 30%? I think. I just matched the factory rear tint. Here is a pic. Bad angle but it's all I have.

    Just to note. When you are asking the dealer to tint something darker than 70% on the front windows, they will make you sign a waiver stating if shit goes down, they are not held responsible.
