Any type of tint on the front windshield and/or front (both driver/passenger side) windows is illegal in Cali. I'm pretty sure you've seen plenty of cars out there that have tint on their front windows, but they're risking the chance of getting a fix-it ticket. If you have to tint the front windows, then I'd suggest not going darker than the 2nd or 3rd lightest shade they have at the tint shop...otherwise, the darker the tint is on the front, the more likely it is you'll get pulled over.

Alright, I got schooled. But 70% is like having almost no tint at all, not worth the money IMO.
