Yes , I'll start by saying I'v searched.......
What is the LEGAL window tint %???
Not what you can get by with.... I
think it is 20% but not shure?
...of the driver and passenger side window???
any thing you want on the rear windows
NOTHING ON THE FRONT WINDOWS
What are the sides though???
Side fronts are illegal all and all...unless you have written permission by a doctor...rear quarters and rear window can be 5%....

you might as well just not get it not to sound messed up but cali is a trip on rules save yourself the unessasary time getting pulled over about tint.
anything behind the 2 front doors can be painted black if you so choose , you just have to have a mirror on each door
that is what i mean by rear
i worked at a tint shop in carson for 7 years
^^^ Im so painting my rear window black to give it a stealth look.
like said, anything behind the front doors is fine whatever darkness. anything on the front door windows as well as the front windshield is illegal (with exception for the stripe at the top of front window).

i know very few people who don't have tint on the front door windows. do people get pulled over for it, yes. is it common, no. i've never been pulled over for tint on any of my cars. my tint is dark all the way around. my wife has never been pulled over. neither have my brother, parents, friends...you get the point. i only know one person who's been pulled over for tint. thing is, he didn't get pulled over cuz it was dark, he got pulled over cuz he had the metallic flames on his front windows.
GO PATS!!!
i have limo on all my windows except the two fronts. on there i have almost a mirrored tint so it tends to not look tinted compared to the rest of them. i have never been pulled over for it. i have however been pulled over for my fronts being tented back in the day when i had limo tint on my fronts when i had my lowrider. quite a few times actually. almost everyone i know who has the fronts tinted has been pulled over at least once for it. if you decide to do it, i would suggest keeping it VERY light.

Right, anything behind the driver can be tinted any darkness as long as you have a rear view mirror on both doors. Anything on the front two windows is illegal. And you can have a "sun visor" tint at the top of your windshield, but I'm pretty sure it can't extend more than 5" from the top of the windshield.
I got pulled over the other day for not having license plates. The cop mentioned that I tinted my windows pretty fast considering I hadn't even gotten plates yet, and I thought for sure I was gonna get ticketed for my windows, but he just let me go. It was a CHP, I was pleasantly surprised.

That's great. But that's not typical where I live. My wife and I have been pulled over twice now (including just recently where we tried to get away with it again) and everyone *I* know has been pulled over up and down the San Joaquin Valley.
Clearly it depends where you live as not all police departments have the same agenda.

yea i guess thats true. hell, my neighbor is a cop and sold me my wife's car with tint darker than what i had on my cavalier.
guess it depends on where you live.
GO PATS!!!
BTW I should add one thing.
Tinted side windows should cost no more than 40 bucks a window. The ticket is a fix-it ticket that is only $10. If you get caught, a hair dryer and exacto-blade is all it takes to get it off.
So the
consequences of getting caught are quite minimal.

I have had limo tint on my side windows ever since i bought the car.
I have passed by multiple cops and multiple CHP officers.
Not once have I been pulled over for tint (knock on wood).
I got pulled over a few times for tint, but the car was heavily modded, never got a ticket for tint though.
