Iā€™m having mine done tomorrow. They told me 20%. We will see how it looks.
its illegal in my state too, especially the windshield. UNLESS you have a prescription šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜‡
This will be my first vehicle with the windshield done

I think the majority of states allow around 30ish% for driver/passenger windows. I wonder if youā€™d be able to tell the difference between a 23 and 30% unless you were really looking for it?
Michigan state troopers are ruthless. They will give you a ticket and make you go to their HQ for an official test with one of their meters. My ex wife was pulled over twice in a week for tinted windows by troopers.

Very good friend of mine thatā€™s is NC state police said they wonā€™t care but when I get it inspected they might say something.

Bumping... looking to get my front windows and windshield tinted to match, has anyone else had theirs done and know %? Seems like 20-23% range thus far. I'm assuming, in addition, it also depends on the tint film material/brand being applied to a degree as far as matching %?

Well that sucks. I live in Michigan too, and I've had my side windows and baklite tinted. Where was she when the asshat pulled her over? Ticket or warning?

My tint place said itā€™s 23%. So I matched my front windows to that.
My tint place said 18%, so he matched that on the front sides, and added a layer of 18% to the rear. Looks great. I doubt I could tell the difference between 18% and 23%. $50/window.

Troopers on telegraph 2 times tickets but said they take it away if proof of removal within 30 days.
another trooper closer to home while she was under the 30 days to Get it fixed so that was just a warning.
it was a silver car so I think they appeared even darker

You can have a strip of tinting on the windshield as I did in Texas but not the entire windshield. Tinting goes by legal limits. The shops doing the tinting know the limits.
