if window tinting is illegal in your state...
any tint on the front windows is illegal in CA, i have 35% all around and no tickets yet. on a related note, front plate is required in CA, 15k miles without it and no trouble yet. i think cops are too busy busting ricers and crap down here, but that works for me.
i had 20% all around on my old car and i never got pulled over for it. i got tickets for it, but i would get pulled over for speeding and he would let me off with a ticket for my tints. happened 3 times so as soon as i get the chance i'm gonna tint the max too.

va is supposedly 50% for front 35% for rear, but I have 35% all around and have never had any problems with cops, inspections, etc. I used to live in NC and down there 35% is legal for front windows.

http://www.tintdude.com/atoh.html look at this site..this is a little more helpful
I am in MA, 25% all around are legal here and that’s what I have, but some simple yet affective advise for you guys with problems, if I cop pulls you over day or night turn your dome and mirror consol light ON, and act like you just need to look in you glove box, this will make the tint seem lower.
I know it’s simple and stupid but trust me this will help @ least one person.

thats lame! i wanna take mine off... ill just take it off and play dumb. my moms is off and it hasnt been a problem.
All tint is illegal where I live in RI. I have 35% all around (except for front windshield) When I put a system in my car I'm going to get 20% for the four passenger/driver windows. Never gotten a ticket or pulled over.
i got 20% all around, and dont even have a front license plate and was never pulled over by a cop. My tints are lumar so they arent that dark when the sun is out, but at night its completely dark. I was pulled over by a bike cop once and he didnt say anything about the tints(had the music on to loud).

the cop will tell you how dark they are after he pulls you over. they have a light meter that clips to the window
How hard is it to go to an eye doctor and fake a sunlight related eye problem so they write you a note for any % tint you want? The law here is 50% and i REALLY don't think thats dark enough, and i cant take the chance of getting a ticket. Has anyone dont this before?

I was pulled over by a Warwick cop a couple years back... He asked me where I got it tinted and I played dumb and said it was a Mass car that came that way... he let me go (Big deal in Warwick, they are Tough)
I was nailed by a statie a year later tho... In RI you dont get a ticket or a fine... you get a Five Day. As in five days to get your car reinspected, it wont pass with tint, unless ofcourse, you know somebody, which is the golden rule in Shady Rhode Island. I havent tinted the Max yet, Ive spent to much this month... gotta wait a bit.
You need a front plate in RI and its been my experience that if you wanna get pulled over in a hurry take off ur front plate. Ive been in 4 or 5 cars that were pulled over cuz of no front plate. Its really weird... Such a little thing and you would think itd be hard o notice... It happend to me today. All I have is a back plate on cuz my car isnt registered yet... he let me go.
got pulled over for speeding (20 over is what the cop claims) and the ***got cop got me for tints too. 5% on everything but the windshield- law is 43% on the fronts. i went to talk to the judge and told him i promised to get it taken off. so he dismissed the $50 "fix-it ticket" but im not gettin rid of it. my car looks too good and it helps so much when it gets hot.
had tint since oct or sept, so it's been a while
thet link that has the state laws- what does as1 mean? its for the windshield tints
