Re: Pic Help Tint Shades
Tooner, in California you can't go too dark (a friend of mine got pulled over and handed a fix-it ticket a few years back to lighten things up). Sounds crazy but true, so check with someone in your area first. I am already dealing with one issue here and so far so good (refuse to drill the holes). If your in the same boat (not sure) don't bring more attention where its not needed IMHO.

And they will pull you over. 2 of my friends have been pulled over on the 101 (peninsula) in the past few months.
If you are still interested, you should check out automall tint (no affiliation to me) - they have been very informative and do a great job, in my opinion.

Re: Pic Help Tint Shades
According to the tint dude:
70% Tint is legal in CA [although only one carries that shade you would not put that crap on a 997 trust me]
50% to 60% - popo [police] judgement call the tint man says this install has been good to customers and no reported pull overs from this shade. you are very visible still...

Re: Pic Help Tint Shades
tooner: one point that is frequently forgotten: the standard glass has some tint, so if the tint that is installed is 70%, you will not be legal. They have a nice device at most installers that will allow measurement of the amount of light transmission.
There are some great tints out there that are subtle (for light transmission) but block more heat than you'd expect (I think there is some metal compound in the film??). This might work - but also could block GPS or radio signals or make using a cell phone more difficult.
