You know you want it Andy. You can do 70% Huper Optiks and still be legal. =)

 

I could have sworn I read it in a DMV handbook where it said that is the only way to have legal tint, unless I was mistaken or it has since been changed?

 

10% at night seems like it would be zero visibility
Not exactly safe

 

how bout someone look for the info in the vehicle penal code.. cut and paste it.. that should end the debate about what's legal in cali.. i would but i'm too lazy.. :P

 

Transparent Materials


26708.5. (a) No person shall place, install, affix, or apply any transparent material upon the windshield, or side or rear windows, of any motor vehicle if the material alters the color or reduces the light transmittance of the windshield or side or rear windows, except as provided in subdivision (b), (c), or (d) of Section 26708.

(b) Tinted safety glass may be installed in a vehicle if (1) the glass complies with motor vehicle safety standards of the United States Department of Transportation for safety glazing materials, and (2) the glass is installed in a location permitted by those standards for the particular type of glass used.

Here we go again. The law in CA is not 70%. Read California Vehicle Code section 26708 VC and all of the subsequent subsections. Go ahead and tint those windows, though. Job security for me.
