Re: tinting windows

Not sure about illinois, but I'd say that 15% is about the norm. Depends how much tollerance you have for cops. I have 5% on my beater VW out here in Germany and it's hard to see at night.

Re: tinting windows

In Illinois you cannot have the driver's side window tinted unless the car was made before 1982. So when i bought mine the sides were already tinted so i just peeled them off. i didnt want one side tinted and not the other. My rear window is still tinted though and it is pretty dark. a bunch of my friends went to 5% i thinkon their cars. i do see plenty of cars running around with the drivers side tinted but i guess it all depends on the cops in the town. in my town some are jerks so i dont do anything to get there attention.

Re: tinting windows

You cant have any on the drivers side like stated above, but as far as I know, for the back, there is no limit. Some people can get away with tinted windows but it depends who you are, and where you live really. I'm going to go 5% all around, but I only drive my car a few times a month, so I'm not to worried about it.

Re: tinting windows

Seems a little high to me with those prices. Heck I'm going to be getting mine done and it's going to cost me $150.00 for the hatch, and two side windows at 20% tint.

I'd shop around some more and talk to some people that live in you're are who have tint jobs of there cars.

Just my 2 cents.....

Re: tinting windows

I got quotes from a local guy that seems to do great work. He said the rear would be $100 and the sides are $50 and the rates dont go up for the sides no matter what its on. I would find some one that has experience with doing the back glasses on these. Just my opinion.
