State Laws

14676860-s.jpg We often hear questions on which pre cut window tint is legal in a certain state. We do not have a good answer to this because there are too many different jurisdictions, local laws, and regulations that govern your window tint's allowable light transmittance. Also please keep in mind that most automotive windows already have a tint in them. If you would like to see the difference for yourself, just crack your window down a bit and look at the difference in clarity between the glass and no glass at all. While this tint is very minimal, it most certainly compounds to the total light transmittance of the window once precut tint is installed.

 

Below we have made a table of what we have compiled from various sources for different state laws on window tint. Please keep in mind that this table is only to be used as a guideline and you must still do your own homework on which pre cut window tint is legal in your State, Town, Village, City, or County.
