You sure that's all cars? Sounds like an SUV/Multipurpose Vehicle law to me. Most regular cars have to be 35% all around in most places.

Both my C5s have tinted window too but for some reason the cops leave me alone in them, the Talon however
Nice to see a talon still alive. Had a Laser Turbo my first import car during college.

Actually, the Laser (or Talon) are not imports, they were made in Normal Illinios.

In GA the laws are the same. 35 on the front side windows, anything on the other windows. Nothing on the windshield below the marker things.

I went 45 on the Vette, but did the ceramic ultra heat preventer type. I like it. The car doesn't look suspicious and the heat stays out.

Damn, 70%, that does suck. Some people go a little darker than legal limit, just don't be upset if your ticketed. Here we need 25% or higher for the front windows and I've had mine at 15% for a couple of years with no issue.(Although ceramic so it's closer visually to 20%)

If your state is that dickheaded about tint, I don't think I would mess with it.

haha true I forgot DSMs made in Normal Illinios. Considered it an "import" since Mitsubishi was the main designer of the car and a lot of the parts had the mitsu symbol. Funny I also owned a dodge stealth which I converted into a lot of MItsu parts.
