#20653, "Window tint *Search wasn't working for me*"
Sorry if this has been posted before but I can never get the search to work...
I'm getting my windows tinted tomorrow by a friend. He doesn't know the laws about it though. I just want the back three done. I am thinking that I can go as dark as I want on the back three, but not on the front 3. I want really dark limo tint but my friend is saying that's illegal but I think it's ok on the back 3. I live in Indiana if that matters...

I can speak for Florida at least...
Here you can practically paint your back windows black. So yeah you could go as dark as you want in the back. I'm not sure how dark you can go on the front side windows. And the windshield is a big no-no just 6 inches(I think) off the top can be tinted.

that kind of stuff varies state to state...i'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but i think so
IC 9-19-19-4 Sec. 4. (a) This section does not apply to a manufacturer's tinting or glazing of motor vehicle windows or windshields that is otherwise in compliance with or permitted by FMVSS205 as promulgated in 49 CFR 571.205. Proof from the manufacturer, supplier, or installer that the tinting or glazing is in compliance with or permitted by FMVSS205 must be carried in the vehicle. (b) This section does not apply to the driver of a vehicle: (1) that is owned by an individual required for medical reasons to be shielded from the direct rays of the sun; or (2) in which an individual required for medical reasons to be shielded from the direct rays of the sun is a habitual passenger. The medical reasons must be attested to by a physician licensed to
practice in Indiana, and the physician's certification of that condition must be carried in the vehicle. The physician's certificate must be renewed annually. (c) A person may not drive a motor vehicle that has a: (1) windshield; (2) side wing; (3) side window that is part of a front door; or (4) rear back window; that is covered by or treated with sunscreening material or is tinted to the extent or manufactured in a way that the occupants of the vehicle cannot be easily identified or recognized through that window from outside the vehicle. However, it is a defense if the sunscreening material applied to those windows has a total solar reflectance of visible light of not more than twenty-five percent (25%) as measured on the nonfilm side and light transmittance of at least thirty percent (30%) in the visible light range.

tinting is always a state of grey. pardon the pum. but it varies from state to state. but the general rule is, back windows have no limit to darkness. but front ones do. windshield cannot be tinted, but can have a 6" strip on the top. and the driver and passenger side windows can have up to 50% tint. thats a general rule.. but its different for every state.
