    I need to get my 2018 windows tinted pronto. The clear glass is driving me nuts right now.

    For all those that had front windows tinted, which % most closed matches the rear windows with the dark glass? I think my 2017 had 20% which was pretty close. Photos w/ product info is helpful. Thanks guys

    Just got it done at 20%. At the bottom right corner of window it says min level of tint is 30% so technically we are all illegal!

    We aren't allowed any more than 35%, and the cops all carry those meters.

    In New Jersey any tint on the driver or passenger side windows are illegal! But a lot of people have them tinted! They usually won't pull you over for tint but if they do pull you over for something else you are sure to get a ticket!

    Just match the rear. Any tint is probable cause for pulling over. Who gives a s&$@ unless your drunk. If you can afford one of these i doubt you're worried bout a $70.00 ticket. Do you and enjoy bro.
