It doesnt matter how dark it is, any film on the front two windows is illegal. Despite the rumors of what you here about 30% or higher. I just had a tint ticket 6 months ago, and it was $200!!!!
here is the verbatim straight from CHP's web site
Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
- The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
