[QUOTE=Apollos2]You can't have your front windows tinted? Or are you talking about the windshield?
You can have your windshield tinted up to 6" depending on your state laws. I have seen full tinted windshields in Florida. I just can't see how they can see out in the night and when it rains. To each its own. Warren

I am actually thinking about doing the whole windshield at about 50% or lighter. Possibly getting some UV protection for the dash and help to keep the dash from getting so hot as well.

Tint is legal in Colorado. (not on the windshield) but with 50-65% it will hardly be noticeable. 27% is the legal limit, mine are at 20%. This will be my second car with 20%. I never have been pulled over for tint.
On the safe side, I always slide my sky view open when I see the police...just in case.

Looks great!
My Tint is definately illegal. I've got 5% on the rear and back windows and 12% on the front two. I've seen cops eyeing me all the time. I always drop my windows if I see them coming. On my last Maxima (5th gen) I had 20% all around, but the 6th gen just needed to be darker. Before my 5th Gen Max I had a '97 Firebird, formula V8. Since it was two doors I just did 12% all around. I got pulled over for speeding and the cop was trying to hammer me for everything (music to loud, exhaust to loud, etc...). Right when I think it finally over he asked me to roll up my windows...And then with the hands of a surgeon, he proceeded to write his TOO DARK with his keys though my tint. (He then tried to to my rear glass, but I cautiously reminded him the back glass has not darkness limit.)
Oh well, if they do that on this baby....well....I'll just have to get it redone. It looks to damn good.

Apallos2, I live in Aurora, I thought tint was legal to 4" on the winshield. I'm looking to do mine this weekend. I want to be positive before I go. Where did you get yours done? I'll prolly run to Maddox at Quincy and Parker. What did you do about the 3rd brake light? Can you tint over it?

just for the entire windshield. You can do some tint at the top. Not sure what the limit is though. The tint place should know that. I went right over the 3rd brake light. I got mine done at a place at aprox 5200 South Broadway.
