california tint law; heads up
as some of you might not know yet, in california, there is absoluately no tint allowed on the front windows of your vehicle. that includes driver window, passenger window and front windshield. except a 3" banner on the top of the front windshield. the any window behind the drivers head is acceptional, but no fancy colors or mirror like tint.
if you still think the 70% tint grade still exist as stated here: http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Law_Chart/S...aw%20Chart.htm it doesnt. i got hassled for 65% which is pretty much a light shade at day, slightly dark at night. beware, cops will do anything to save there jobs
also refer to: http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html

Rep Power: 0 Tint on your front driver and passenger side windows are also good P.C. to stop a vehicle. It's a correctable ticket, but it's also a hassle to be pulled over and get cited for this. The officer can also find other things to cite the driver for. Be careful.
