Default Window Tint Officially Legalized in Illinois?

Hey guys saw this over on EVOM. Will we finally be able to tint our front windows??? It passed in the house and is now in the senate!!!

Quote:

In related news, HB3325 passed the house recently, and is currently being considered in the senate. Essentially, if this passes (it's already through the senate transportation committee, and the votes suggest there is zero opposition to this), you can go one of three ways:
Same as today: nothing up front, dark as you want in the back
Up to 50% (+/- 5%) in the front, and up to 30% (+/- 5%) in the back
Up to 35% all around.
This is very good news, and apparently, the FOP is actually on-board with this.


Link to the HB3325: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/Bill...sion=0#actions
Hopefully this will get passed!!!!![/quote]

Not the WT plates either, just plain legal.

I was just told this also. Thanks for the link. Yes you must have the WT plate for anything darker then 35% all around or you can have it as dark as you want on all otehr windows including 6" down on front window. I hope they pass this!!!!!!!!!!! Would want it darker but I can live with this vs NO tint.

Peter,

I just seen you in Naperville the other day (Friday) around 2:00. I was by the Lexus dealer going to 59.


As for the tint, count me in when it finally passes, I will get it the next day.

Yeah, I was actually on my way to see how the Marauder was coming along at the LM dealer. You should have honked... We could have had a few brews at my place.

You made the light as I was going west on Ogden. I was headed to Bicylces ETC on 59.

i'm anxiously waiting to see where this goes as well. Keep us updated! I'm sick of dodging cops, rolling down my windows, and opening up my sunroof.

How will they test this in the field? How can they be sure of what % tint you have that would be legal/illegal? Im pretty psyched though regardless
