Tints

i read the tint laws for california. it says that its legal if more than 70% of light is let in. does that mean i can get 25%-30% tints?

NO!!!!! The number percentage is based on how much light gets in! For example, 25% tint means it only lets 25% light in! 70% is NY law too, it basically is what comes out from the factory! Anything more than that is illegal in NY and CA! Believe it or not, the factory puts a tint on your car windows when it comes out which only lets 70% light in, if you have ever used a tint meter you will see!

Yea, like FL I believe has no tint law and most other states are less strict than NY and CA!

Oh .. Florida has tint laws .. they were big on enforcing it in the 90's but have become pretty lax these past few years. Note, however, my cousin drove his with 5% all the way around (including windshield) for 4 years before getting ticketed and thus having to remove the tint from the windshield.
