Well, I am IL, so tint law is 35% (if you have the rear tinted) reads really wierd, but I do want to saty leagl

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to provide that a person may drive a motor vehicle with a nonreflective material tinted film that does not allow less than 50% light transmittance upon the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver. Deletes an exemption to certain window obstruction provisions for motor vehicles manufactured prior to January 1, 1982. Prohibits the use of a reflective material on the front windshield and side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver for persons afflicted with or suffering from a medical illness, ailment, or disease which would require that person to be shielded from the direct rays of the sun. Provides that is a petty offense for an installer who installs window treatment for a person with medical condition to fail to obtain and store a copy of a doctor's certificate or letter from the person with medical condition in the installer's permanent records.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
625 ILCS 5/3-412 from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-412

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to provide that a person may drive a motor vehicle with a nonreflective material tinted film that does not allow less than 50% light transmittance (or less than 35% light transmittance if the windows to the rear of the driver already have certain window treatment applied) upon the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver. Deletes a front windshield exemption for persons afflicted with or suffering from a medical illness, ailment, or disease. Deletes an exemption to certain window obstruction provisions for motor vehicles manufactured prior to January 1, 1982. Provides that is a petty offense for a first offense and a Class C misdemeanor for a second offense for an installer to install window treatment on motor vehicles that do not have specified license plates or stickers. Effective immediately.

Needless to say, this is a no brainer! Just got 35% all around and it looks stunning. I'll post pics, but wow - PERFECT compliment for this car, especially BO.

Got 3M Color Stable.

If you want tint but dont want to much or to little I say go with 35% on the front and back. its a great middle ground and will keep ur leather from drying out in 90F+ temps. Makes the car look better too.

That's too dark for me! Especially at night.

IMHO, 35% should be a factory option! Now that I have it, can't imagine the car any other way.

^ You implying tinted glass on a Dodge Caravan looks better than film on a sports car???? You're logic is flawed severely

Back on the subject...... yes, 35% or darker (ceramic if you can afford it)

Yes I am. Why is my logic flawed? Film is the cheap way to go and basically sux. Tinted glass is the only way to go. My logic is not flawed but you may have a different opinion and that is fine.

While I certainly agree that custom tinted glass is better option, I don't think it's practical for most folks. Won't say your logic is flawed, just difference of opinion. Personally, I have had all my vehicles tinted. The AZ sun is brutal!!
