Even the 35% thing in Florida isn't safe.....
If you have 35% tint, but have a reflective type tint, you will still get a ticket.....It is illegal to have any reflective material on your windows. I had 35% neutral-reflective smoke tint on my Accord, and after a ticket, I took the bastard to court. He won based on this argument, and I had to pay an extra $30 of court costs in addition to the $44 ticket for the tints.........I WAS PISSED!!!
So screw it........On the L, I got 5% Limo tints all around, including the back window(s). I guess that would make the back window tint .75% if in fact it's already a 15% from the factory.......slide the rear window to one side and u temporarily have a .00562% window tint...........kinda dark huh........OK, enough math for today!!!

An easy way around getting a ticket is to layer your tint, my buddy did this on his old eclipse. He tinted the windows as dark as was legal then got another layer of tint over it but stopped it short about an inch or more below the top of the window so when the cop put the tester over the top of the window it showed up as legal. Needless to say the cop was pissed but couldnt give him a ticket. Hope this helps. Thinking about doin it on my Lightning.

Being in the military I used to be out in Ca and the cops out there are tough on tint. If I remember right you can get as dark as limo on all but the driver and passenger windows and nothing at all is legal on the driver and passenger windows. my truck was registered out of state and i still got a ticket for the tint on the driver and passenger windows. I tried to fight it in court and tried to bring up the fact that if i tinted to Ca laws the second I crossed the state line going home i would have an illegal tent the judge didnt buy it he said you live here so you have to go by our laws.

I live in Sacramento, where the usual CA tinting laws apply. I got pulled over 2 months after I put 15% on the front windows of my black L. The guy was ok about it. $10 fix it ticket was all. Well 2 days later I was driving to school after getting the initial ticket, (with my windows rolled down), and another cop pulls me over with no other reason, than to ask me to roll up my windows. Then he cites me, and I tell him that I got a fix it ticket 2 days ago, and I have an appointment to pell them on the weekend. (all true). He gives me another fix it ticket and says that if I really got one, this one would go away. Well I went to the court clerk to check up on my ticket status this last weekend, and the clerk tells me this: #1: The tinting law is no longer fixable, it is a direct $97 fine, even though the cops say otherwise. #2: Since I got 2 tickets, one does not go away like the cop told me, I now have to pay the $97 fine TWICE. To make a long story short, I'm going to court next week intent on paying nothing at all, because both cops told me otherwise. Wish me luck...God I hate that tinting law, it's useless.

i have 5% on my navigator and they have never said anything to me.
i passed 2 cops the other day and just knew that they were going to stop me for it.
it is a big thing around here.
$240 fine.
however i can easily get a doctors note saying i cannot see in direct sunlight
And you would take that not to the judge.
