Chris
That is what was going through my mind....



anyway.

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 50% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 35% of light in.

In other words your as well off to save your money and buy a nice pair of sunglasses. 35% is barely noticeable if not at all noticeable.

What?

35% is very noticeable. 50% is not very noticeable.

Technically you can spray paint the very back rear window black, its the side back windows we are discussing I believe.
