Here's a good summary, I found
"Public Act 096-0815
Effective 10/30/2009
35% is legal all the way around.
35% Front/35% Rear
- or -
50% Front/30% Rear
Also, You can do 6" from top of the windshield
UNDER 30% ON ANY REAR WINDOW MAKES IT ILLEGAL TO TINT IN FRONT (unless vehicle is classified "MPV" and has privacy glass - 50% Front)

I live in the suburbs and I never once got a ticket for having no front plates, but in the city, its a completely different story. The first 5 or 6 times I parked there on the street (Lincoln park area/Loop area) I got 3 tickets. After that I couldn't keep paying for them so I just put a makeshift plate holder so that you can't see the holes if I were to take the plate off.

It really depends where you live.

parked to go eat some Lou Mahnati's Pizza today and came out to a $50 ticket for no front plate.. bleh... I have no idea where my other plate is either. I just moved here from Carbondale and was never hassled back home.
