Default FINALLY!!! IL Window Tint Law Changed....

The bill just was put into law on Oct. 30th.

It states the following:

35% for both front and rear windows
If you go 30-34% in the rear, you have to do 50% front
If rear windows are tinted below 30%, front windows cannot have tint.
Vehicles equipped with factory rear tint are allowed to have
up to 50% tint for front windows.


This is huge!!

We probably won't need the window tints then since there will be very little sun after hell freezes over.

Is this very dark? I don't want limo tint but I don't want it to look cheap either.

Mfastert - May not be the best pic but both cars have 35% tint on them. Remember, the lower the number, the darker the tint.

Where did you get it done? Did they do anything to the dots on the rear window on the Z?
