So i live in so-cal and i got limo tint (5%) all around but obviously not on the windshield, ive been pulled over 5 times for it and im tired of it....what % should i get on the front so i wont get pulled over?? i have an OB with black interior so it looks darker than it should be..HELP ME OUT PLEAZE!!

 

15% maybe.

 

go 20%

btw whats darkest legal in cali? bc in FL its 30 front 20 rear

 

According to this: http://www.kingtint.com/Cal-widw-tint-laws-1.html
Cali people can only get up to 70% on the front windows, and anything on the rears. So pretty much your out of luck.

If it even looks tinted, they'll notice it. If you still want it tinted, go 35% all around..but even then, it lets in so much light that i think it sucks.

 

Wow 5 times? That's a lot...although since what you got is practically limo tint, I can see why.

Only members of the mob would do 5%...but then again, ur name is g37mobber...

I have 30% and I think it looks fine. Haven't had any trouble so far...

 

Yo Sep! I have had my 20% for a while now and passed a lot of cops, but they never pulled me over for dark tints. Maybe you should try that.

 

Considering that California allows just about anything other than on the front windshield, as the link above shows, you should be OK if you leave the front alone. And if you do get pulled over with a overly-dark side window, I would suggest you roll down your driver’s window first lest you get a pistol pointed at your face.

In fact, if you have 5% or more on the sides, it may be a good idea to drive at night with your windows rolled down anyway, as I doubt you can see anything on either side of you.

 

I use 30% in the front and that is pretty good for me.

I never knew 70% was legal in cali. Always thought no tint was allowed in front. Good to know otherwise, even though no one would run 70%, that would be a waste.

 

I believe that 70% represents the area at the top that already comes with most cars today.

Now no offense, and I don’t really want to get into another illegal tint debate, but I don’t believe there’s any way you can see through a 30% windshield at night without seriously compromising safety unless you were born on Krypton.

 

thanks for all the help & replies guys ^^^^^^...where i live though (ventura county) theres not much action going on here so cops will pull you over left and right for the stupidest reasons..i actually just got pulled over AGAIN LAST NIGHT FOR MY TINT...and my windows are down 85% of the time but i mean if i was a police officer i would pull me over 2..with my red lip and everything it gets a little too much attention..i think i might just go 25% or 30% on the front i LOVE limo though cuz no one can see you period..but @ night i cant see a THING.

 

^^^ Fail...... lmao

 

haha your coming with me to tint master when i schedule the new tint...and you better be thinkin of a b-day present for me on saturday man...cat-back is lookin pretty good

 

Ive got 20% and had a CHP flip a b%tch on the highway to pull me over. Every time I see a cop I drop my windows. If you want to be hassled i wouldnt go darker than 35%.
