I was told that the rear window and the rear side windows can be as dark as you want and it isn't illegal,you just cant have the front side windows and front window too dark.Is that true?

you should be able to remove it with a razor blade and a heat gun. heat the glue up and slide the razor behind it it should come right out

TECHNICALLY, rear windows can be as dark as you want...front can have NO tint...

if you want tint and you dont want cops to bother you, you gotta get 30% or 35%...anything darker, and at night they cant see you so its a problem...
