Hey guys,
    For everybody out there who has tinted windows or will be getting them
tinted, this site tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about the laws in your
state.  Like you'll actually follow them (I didn't!)!  There are some pretty
interesting laws I've never heard about:  A required sticker in some states
specifying tint% (placed on door OR BETWEEN THE TINT!  EWWWW!!!!)!!!!  Whether
you need mirrors etc.  I suggest everyone visit just to see how badly they're
brakin the law!   Here is an explanation of the terms used:  Site is at the
bottom!  L8R all
   Matt

KEY

Type= Film (LT % refers to the film itself)

Net (LT % refers to the combined LT of film & glass)
Vague (language is unclear, legislative intent is unclear, or
interpretation is uncertain, any information following is subject to
change or interpretation.)

Windshield = Presumably, NR tinting is permitted above the AS-1 line. If
the law specifies only the AS-1 line, AS-1 appears. If AS-1 or specified
inches appears, the AS-1 is assumed and only the number at inches down
appears.

(Note: NR is used in lieu of "No, Any, or a specific percentage" when
the law permits unspecified "nonobstructive" or Transparent" tinting
materials. In these cases, the legality of tinting inevitably depends
upon each officer's discretion.)

Front Sides = No film, or the actual percentage of LT Permitted. (Note:
Because they may vary from state to state, manufacturer's tolerances
(ie. + / - 3% LT) are not listed on this chart, nor are they included in
these LT numbers.)

MPV = Multi Purpose Vehicle. A vehicle used for passengers on a truck
chassis.

Back Sides = No film, or the actual percentage of LT permitted.

Rear = No film, or the actual percentage of LT permitted.

Mirrors (Left & Right required outside) = Yes or No.

(Note: Usually, a Yes means that dual outside mirrors are required if
the back window is to be tinted.)

Certification Required: Yes or No.

(Note: This refers to a requirement for manufacturers to certify the
films they plan to sell before shipping them into the state.)

Stckr/Loc- (Sticker/Location)

No (no sticker is required)

Rec (sticker recommended)

Specific (the state requires unique language & design, which may entail
precise wording and sizing)

(1) Driver (the sticker is required between the film and glass on the
driver's side window)

(2) Door (the sticker is required on the inside of the driver's side
doorjamb)

(3) All (the sticker should be put between the film and glass on each
tinted window)

Recommended (due to "officer discretion," a sticker can help officers
identify legal tint more easily)

Locations: Driver's window, All windows tinted with film; or Driver's
left door jamb

Medical Exemption: Yes or No.

(Note: For more details about the specific terms of the exemption
consult the law.)
