Windshield:
You’re allowed a 4-inch strip (also called an eyebrow or visor strip) of non-reflective tint at the top of the windshield.
Anything beyond that requires a medical exemption, or you risk fix-it tickets.Front Side Windows:
Must allow 70% of light to pass through. This keeps them legal while still blocking heat and UV.Rear Windows (Back Sides + Rear Windshield):
Any shade is legal — you can go as dark as you want.What does % mean?
The percentage refers to how much visible light can pass through the film.
Example:70% = very light, mostly transparent
35% = moderate tint
5% = very dark “limo” tint
