I am from Plainfield/Joliet area. NO TINT is legal in IL unless the car is older than 1981. Its possible they changed the year allowable because they were trying to eliminate that. A dealer can sell any car with tinted windows. Its legal to tint the windows, its legal to sell tinted windows. It is illegal to drive with tinted windows.

You can have the rear window tinted and the corner one but not the passenger or drivers window tinted.

Certain towns crack down at different times of the year on this..... Knock on wood Plainfield has not hit my G/F for them. My Silver eclipse only comes out on weekend in sunny weather so getting caught in that is rare if not close to impossible.

Sorry to hear you got caught. Its only been illegal for the past 20years. Its a game you play so dont cry if you do get caught. Everyone here in IL knows its illegal.
