    I live in Oregon. I went and got my windows tinted the other day. I told the guy I wanted the Washington tint level on my front two windows. I knew it would be slightly darker that oregon legal level. My last car had that tint level for 6 years without getting pulled over. BUT NOW WASHINGTON LEVEL HAS GONE DOWN TO 25%. So my windows are darker than what I expected.

    I hope i don't get a ticket.

    Has any Oregon Taco's with darker than legal tint get a ticket?!?!?:(

    I dont mind paying for a new tint job but what i really hate is someone else doing stuff to my cars. call it controlling.

    Oregon is 35% light transmittance. I look around a see many cars with dark from window tint. Living in portland near the washington border makes for that. I just hope i blend in enough and cops are busy doing real cop work.

    Wow, that's pretty light. What color is your interior?

    Light SR5 Grey interior, Black outside. Now that I am looking at it closer, it is actually slightly darker than the factory rear window tint. I want to error on the side of slightly lighter.

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Pretty sure I went with 22% on mine. It's been a while so I don't recall. Passed by many a LEO with no problem.
