Default Tinted Windows

I have posted a couple of these pictures before, but wanted to get them all in one place.

35% tint on the front windows and 20% on the rear window.

Yes ANY tint on the front windows is illegal in Illinois, but since I almost never drive with the top up, I am not worried about it.

I wanted the tint to help protect the interior while parked outside, and to enhance the looks of the car when parked. Also, thanks to S2000GT, I got a smokin' deal on the tint job.








Illegal, sure, but I don't care:

99% would be illegal in Illinois. ANY tint on the front windows is illegal. You can do anything to the rear window (and any rear windows on a 4 door or SUV) but front glass must remain unmolested.

Illinois has some annoying laws.

Both, you can do a 6" or 8" band across the top of the windshield. That's it
