2 1/2 months. Never been stopped. Cops have seen it, but never stopped me. Even if I do get a ticket my friends dad can just write it off.

I just got my windows done today and i live in Mass. I went with 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear window. I also did a windshield brow. The factory windows have tint already on them so see if your tint guy can use 39% which will make it equal to 35%. My tint guy tinted all the New England Patriots players windows so they came out the best i have ever seen. not a spec of dust or bubbles.

If your car already comes with factory tinted windows then yes, unless the installer removes the factory tint before applying theirs.
