i only drive my car in sunny warm weather, so the windows are usually down.

but i got a ticket at a roadblock cus they asked me to roll my window up and they tested it. so i took the fronts off to avoid the ticket....then decided to take the rears off later

my girl with her lssport 02 cavi she has 5%. you can not see in the night that good with them. i would just go with 20% or 18%. plus it sucks when you get pulled over and you have to take it off.

i have 20 on my back three.... not going to risk getting pulled over for something stupid like a tinting ticket... however on my sisters 02 cav ls sport she has 5% on the back and 20% on the front and has never been bothered..... The biggest issue you would want to focus on is if the tinter can get the dot matrix to stick

well i have 15% all the way around my yellow cavi. Ended up getting 2 tickets. I pleaded not guilty to the one because hemalso gave me another ticket for the Vinyl on my winshield. Cops ended up telling me that in PA, anything below 30 on any of the windows is illegal. so i took on my front two windows, i actually just bought two new windows and switched them, but i still have the other 3 windows that are illegal, but i doubt ill ever get pulled over for that. but i tinhk 15 is the lowest id ever go. when it was tested it was actually 13.

20% front, 5% rear (legal limit).


I've been asked a few times, so I always carry the paper of the shop that did it (locally owned and very reputable).
