ABTRD,

Do you know the legal limits in Cali for fronts? I just want to match or go slightly lighter up front, but darken the rears as well...the baby doesn't like the sun on hot days...

Thanks.

I don't think you're allowed to tint the fronts at all in CA. The only legal front tint is the tint that's factory.

you cant tint the fronts in CA...automatic fix it ticket...

its legal if you have a medical waiver...example...sensitive skin or some skin disease...eye problems...etc

I tinted all windows (minus the windshield) at 35% for a total cost of $175. I have the doublecab, so the two side windows in front, the two side windows in back, and the three panels of the rear glass were tinted.

I paid $40 for the front two windows on my access cab since the rest already came with tint. My tint is 20%. have not been hassled at all and it has been about 4 months

For good quality tint, that price is consistent with what I have seen. I had my fronts done for $80 and got quotes of $100 and $75 from other installers.

To add some more to the 2 back doors and the 3 small back panels I was told $100. Leaving the 2 fronts with what they came with from the factory to avoid getting hassled.

$70 for the two fronts here in NE. I put on 35% in front and it matches the rear pretty darn good! I was given the choice of NE legal or any amount I wanted since it is registered in AK. I chose to just go with the 35 and am happy with it. Here is a website to get all the state legal limits. http://www.iwfa.com/iwfa/Consumer_In...statelaws.html You can read it in PDF or HTML format.

My rear windows all came with a 15% (thats what the tint guy said it was) tint from the factory I put the CO Legal Limit 30% on the front to for $80.

Are your rear windows not tinted from the factory?

I was told the rear windows are shaded, but don't have the UV barrier the film provides. So, I added the film.
