NEVER take advice from a tinting business.

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?

The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:


The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.

However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.
 
WOW!! Does anybody know how lenient CA is with vehicles from out of state?
We'll be passing through CA on our way home from vacation in the V, which has 35% tinting on the front side windows as is legal here in AZ.

BTW - the Fit now has 35% on the fronts and 20% on the rear - I'll try to get some pics if it ever comes home again. :(
 
^breathing a LARGE sigh of relief!!!

Thanks!! I'll be sure to hit the license fasteners with LocTite at the CA/OR border!! :cool:
