Tint % what can you "get away with?" :)
That is luck, just don't ask about my record prior to that....Ouch! NorCal can't be any worse that here, go with the 35% tint (not reflective) and keep the shade open on your sunroof. That brings more light into your car and makes the windows look lighter....Good Luck!

Really depends how much you drive your car. If its a DD your bound to go by way more cops which increases your chances severely cause thats all it takes!
Right now in CA 50% will get you pulled over. I got one tint ticket first 3 years owning the G.. Ive gotten 5 tint tickets (pulled over i would say about 8 times) in the last 6 months and im runnin 20%
Never pulled over initially for any other reason other than tint/no front plate. Six or so of the times they didnt even have a chance to see about my front plate so that leaves only tint. Ive also had a cop pull me over because I had all my windows down on the freeway (it was kinda nice out, they were down before I saw him). First thing he did was come up and say "roll up your window" and then proceed to tell me how he probably wouldnt have given me a ticket if I just had left them up and rolled by him
.
So I would say yes, go for it if you are prepared for the po's to nickel and dime you to death. I dont need the government fusion centers tracking me more than they already do those bastards! CA just makes every single thing thats not perfect a ticketable offense. Just another way for them to make one of the most expensive states to live in a little more expensive![Wink](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
EDIT: Sunshade/or moon roof was completely open everytime i was pulled over!!

it all depends on the luck of the draw.
i have 35% in the front and I got pulled over while I was driving through a small town in CA and that pissed me off bc I saw like 4 cars pass by with darker front tints.
u basically have 2 options, u can take off the tint and just pay the fine for the fix up ticket or u can just pay the tint violation (I paid 150).

I was ticketed in Long Beach for tint several years ago. I went to show it was fixed they charged me $120. I said i thought it was a fix it ticket. They told me there were to different tint tickets - a fix it and a fix it with a fine. I asked them what was the difference and they said, "I don't know, the cop chose to fine you.... sorry." No more tint on the front windows for me.
