Default Tint

Hello again, is there anyone who lives in California who knows if it's ok to Tint the windows on the S2k, ofcourse just the side windows, not the windshield.

Oh and does anyone have a recommendation of good preformance brakes? Need to change my brakes.

i think the max limit is 15 or 18% on our sides. Yes you are most correct no tint on the front.

Really?? Huh..I had a friend that just got pulled over and he had tint all the way around and the cop only wrote him up because he had it on the windshield...i hate how our laws aren't outlined in a public manner.

i know. of all places, you would think we need it the most in california. i guess they're worried about gangstas and drug dealers hiding behind the tint. btw, your friend is lucky to get away with his side windows tint.

In the state of CA, it is illegal and prohibited to tint the driver and passenger side windows on vehicle of any sort.

I know, I got pulled over many times when I drove my Civic(tinted). The reason was for safety, security, and visibility for any emergency and driving conditions where other drivers could see you eye to eye.

its illegal to tint windshield except for 4inch or less down from top. as for sides its illegal no matter what tint it is. only windows are ones behind the drivers ie back passengers and back window only.

depending on the cops in your area, its only a 10 fixing ticket . the only bad thing is you have to remove to get it signed off unless you know a cop like me . 20% back and 35% fronts, wish i did 20 all around tho.

i got tint because it blocks out uv and feels a lot cooler parked.
