rear side windows - no limit

rear window - no limit

[breezer]

seriously?

i thought there was a limit, especially for the rear window. and a lower one for the rear side ones

[Fidgits]

nope

there never has been a limit for the rear windows.. the front side ones used to be 30% (i think), but that has now dropped to no tint allowed...

well yes, but manufacturers only have about 2% tint on front side windows.. and the police do allow up to about 5% tint for that reason...

I was told by the police themselves that the front side windows have to have 70% visible light coming through them so you could go 30% darker. Rear windows can be anything,you could paint them black if you want!!!
