    35% tint on galants..

    Whats the total tint percent after 35% tint added on our cars? I just put on 35%, while the state only allows 35% all around max. So im guessing it might be illegal?

    You are right. I got 35% on mine, and when I was pulled over I was metered at 24-25%.

    Would I worry about it if your state has inspections? Yeah. We don't have them in MN so I just get harrassed by cops once in a while. Nothing serious.

    x2, trooper read 24% on my 35% tint, but legal limit in Texas is 25%, so not a big deal for me!

    Me neither... until they figured out the city where I lived and worked. I supposed writing a letter to the Chief of Police in my town questioning an officer's handling of a situation didn't help either. I try to stay one step ahead of them at all times LOL.

    yeah. local cops here dont care either, but state troopers love to get you for it (or so ive been told.) i figure if i start getting in trouble, i'll get the front redone. until then, leave it.

    WTF? Tint Meters? Never heard of this in L.A.! I would figure they would have such things here as well...
