Didnt see a tint forum to post this...

Do leases allow tint jobs past legal limit? i think 35% is legal limit in washington. id like to get 20%. will they charge me after i turn the car back in?

I know BMW didn't consider tint excessive wear and tear. The lease return manager actually said it helps them resell the car if it's tinted.

But this was in Cali.....

My dealer told me that it does not hurt anything and in fact they like the cars to be tinted.
