Yep....as said....there are laws....
The people doing the tint will know. Plus they provide you with a document stating you are "legal".....carry it with you.
Or......go with Limo tint and take your chances....plus, good luck seeing out!

I thought that side window tint (at least the front doors) in CA is illegal, but you can have tint on the hatch window.

I have had 20% on other cars for about 8-years now and never been stopped for it.
On the corvette, I had the tint shop put on 30% just so the LEO doesn't have two reasons (vette & tint) to pull me over.
I think the 30% tint is perfect.
I've been pulled over for speeding (warning only) and the trooper never even mentioned my tint. He only commented on how nice my vette is.

I had mine done at Prestige window tinting in Lynnwood and was very impressed by the job he did; the rear glass took quite a while to shrink in order to get it wrapped around the rear glass but it came out great.

I'm running 5% sides and rear.
No driving at night and only sunny day driving.
I was able to get a doctor's statement approving the tint because of skin cancer concerns.
Never been stopped in a year and a half.
It matches the wheels and the privacy is great.
