how dark can you tint your windows in cali?

I was wondering how dark i could tint the front windows in California? also, if you could put another tint on top of tint?

 

Front windows - you can't (legally)

Rear windows - whatever

 

yup...

although some tint places will tint front windows for you regardless..

Front 0% legally

Rear triple limo if you want!

I have a mild tint on my fronts

 

What they ^^^^^^^^ said. The front driver and front seat passanger can have o% tint. You can still have it applied at just about every location. BUT you run the risk of getting a fix-it ticket. Which means you remove the tint, get the ticket signed off, then if you are so inclined re-apply the tint. HEHE

Every one and their mother has tint. The odds are in your favor. Just FYI..

 

look at the link i posted, you may want to edit your statement.

 

Guys 0% means zero light can be let in. So saying 0% is like saying paint your windows with black spray paint.

 

0% tint?

 

i think he ment you cant have any tint on your front driver/passenger windows. But thats why i told him to check my link i posted.

 

Check out this window Tint shop in Costa Mesa Ca, (orange County)
I live in Burbank (Los Angeles) and am very happy to drive ann our to go to this shop.

http://www.signaturetint.com/

The service there is incredible. They offer a "no Fault" warranty too, so if you scratch your tinting in the future, they replace it for free.

I believe that the front windows must have a minimum of 70% light transmission.
There is a window "tint" that you CAN do on your windshield and signature tint sells it. It is called Lumair Air 80. It doesn't actually tint you windshield a darker color, but it blocks the heat from the sun!

Check out their website and give them a call. Their customer service is second to none and they are cheaper than most places too!

If you call them, tell them "Shane and Lori sent you, friends of Stewart"
I am curious if he will remember us.

this answers the whole dark tint that the OP wants to know. As for the tint on top of tint, im not sure why you would want to do that, but im sure you could...

 

See a cop, roll down the fronts. Soo any percent you want if your quick

 

You should be able to get away with 50% on the fronts if your backs are tinted with 5% or below. I ran 35% for years and never gut pulled over but I went to 20% the last time I tinted my windows and got pulled over three times with that shit. But the limit for the front windows is 70%

 

haha if i only had power windows.

 

I had limo tint in the front and I got a ticket from CHP for it about a month ago. I asked the cop what the cutoff was. He said if I had any film (edit: on the front 2 windows or the windshield) which restricted visibility, he could write a ticket. So that 70% thing is bullshit.

 

maybe the cop was full of BS perhaps.... Look up the tint laws!

 

You can fight that one bud it's not bull shit 70% is the limit. If a cop gives you a ticket and you have 70% you can and will win that one in court it the law.

 

cough cough........
