Legal? haha... Not a fat chance. Especially in Cali...

I think you can call DMV or your local Sheriffs dept. They can tell you. Also, most qualified tint places are up to date on the laws in your area.

I have roughly 40% tint on the sides and about 30% on the rear window. The pics I have aren't great for judging the darkness, because they were taken with the sunroof tilted open.

Look here: http://photos.yahoo.com/dragion007

I hope this helps.

I have a GS4 and live in Va. Of course the only problem is the front passenger windows. I don't think you can tint the windshield at all but the front I believe you can go with 35%. I just decided to get all of the windows done that way. Had it like this for 3 years and no problems even with speeding tickets. Hope that helps.
