What tint?

[A//// Guy]

What I dont understand at all, is the fact that suv's can have dark tint in the back from the factory at about 35%, but cars cant have any.

You can hide a whole lot of hoodlums in the back of an suv. Just doesnt make any sense. Also how southern states can have much darker tint because its hot there, but really its just as hot here most of the summer.

A lot of laws are stupid and make no sense; especially ones in MN.

Anyway, I'm going to head on over to WI with a duck on my head :)

Well, SAFEST bet is 0% :D IMHO, it depends entirely on where you drive, the time you're there, the cops mood, and the alignment of the stars.
Don't forget that driving like an assclown will get you pulled over for "no reason" too. I drive like a grandma 99% of the time and don't get hassled.

Unless something's changed Minnesota is the only state with 50%. I'm sure Maine and Alaska allow 35% or darker. We've just got paranoid cops with too much clout or something.

CA is 70%.

Ive had 20% on most of my cars. Never been pulled over with it or hassled.

I agree, but the times I have been pulled over for tint, I was being very grandma-ish, or sitting at a stop light even!

Actually, I take that back. The first time I was *gasp* turning my wheel as I was doing about 65 around a cloverleaf in EP (494W to 5W). I eased up at the bottom and kept going about 65 (right with traffic) and there was this under cover (that I see around my office area sometimes) back in traffic a bit. He caught up to me & pulled me over for tint, probably wondering wtf I was doing defying the laws of physics and such.

wow.... I'm surprised by cali's law. My buddy moved down there for 7 months and right before going he tinted his protege 5 wagon limo with 15% on the driver and passenger window.... and was never hasseled once, with a white car also. weird

SUV's have much darker tint than 50%, straight from the factory. Id say its about 35-40% for the rear windows.

SUV's are legal to 20% on all rear windows. Front windows, 50%.

Aaron, you should tint your windshield!
