It is legal OEM for SUV's because they do not tint the front windows. It is only the front windows that are important to cops (obviously the windshield as well). Sorry to hear you think 35% is light. Also sorry to tell you this but if you think it's light now... wait 'till it clears up. Mine was so dark when I first got it and now you can see in it easily even in overcast weather and I have 20%. I have a hard time believing that even though my tint is illegal... a cop would get mad even if he could still see in it.

Also, my mirror works like a champ.

 

Mine looks much lighter in the daytime when the sunroof shade is open. Just something to remember for those who have the sunroof . For awhile after I got the tint done I would open it up when pulling up next to a cop,if it wasn't already open. Or if they were behind me. I was more worried about getting a fix-it ticket and having to remove it. Now I just don't give a crap about it, they don't give me a second look.

 

 

Uh oh! The tint police are here.

 

LOVELY.........

start vent:
I threw on some 35% tint, all around, four days ago. Last night on my way back from the grocery store (which is 1 mile away from home) I get pulled over for tint. Talk about luck... obviously, with a legal limit of 50% I figured there was always a chance it could happen. Honestly though, 35 is not that dark, and I see people everyday with 10-20%....... $130 fine......... that is a lot of beer......

My question is, does anyone know how this affects your record? Having tint is not a moving violation, so it wouldn't impact your insurance or anything, but would it go on your criminal record? Vehicle record? If I do not remove the tint and (hypothetically) got pulled over again, would that officer see that I had been tagged before?
