The other day a cop smiled at me through my closed passenger window but the driver window was down. He did not seem concerned.

I've got a 35 front, 20 back tint with but in a dark grey exterior/interrior combo. I'll snap a shot for you in a bit.

Thanks! I'm liking the 35%. I think I might just have to go 35% all around minus the windshield. Guess I'll have to take my chances of a fix it ticket or just remove the front if it's too much attention.

Thanks! That would be really appreciated. I'm just trying to get ideas before having the tint installed.

As far as I know regarding tint in California, no tint is legal in the front two windows. That being said, my wife works for the sheriff's, and everyone's car there is tinted, uniformed and civilians.

I was debating on getting the 35 all around, but I decided to get a 20 because that additional darkness really helps in the back if you have kids. My wife has 20 front, 12 back on her daily driver Highlander to the sheriff's office every day so your milage will vary on getting tickets.

Thanks for posting! So, you have 20 on the back and 35 on the front in the pics?

Yes, 20 on the back and 35 in the front. The second/bottom picture is probably the best representation between the two if you look at the SUV behind through the windows albiet it does go through two tinted windows.

Nicely done ^^. Do the southern Cal cops hassle people with 35% tint on front windows?
