And the list is NOT out of date. GA is clearly marked with a symbol that states "pending legislation".

$200 from the Tint Shop in Rochester, NY

its 20% and has flecks of metal in the tine to give it a gunmetal reflective surface

i'm very happy with it, i wouldn't suggest darker than 20%, going reverse in the dark is hard enough.

I did mine 35% all around with Llumar high performance for $200 (twice as thick than regular, plus has some reflective stuff inside as well, but looks black and very slightly mirror); I like it but really wanted darker %20; but cops around here make lots of money from dark tinted windows. I may redo only back window to %20 to protect seats and speakers a little more. Motor and Vehicles gives permission to have darker windows in special situations. Last car I had I got letter from my doctor saying my skin/eyes are very sensitive to direct sunlight and filled the MV aplication and got permission; this time when I did mine I totally forgot about it until car was done and 35% looks very light for my taste. The tinting guys told me sometimes makes more money taking off dark tints than putting new ones.
