The law is 70% because 3rd gens dont have back side windows. If you are going to tint them I would go with 10 or 15% Watch out for the CHP though

The law states that the front side windows are not suppose to get tint on them. BUT WHO CARES!!!! I got 5% on t-tops and back window and 15% side windows. I got pulled over for that but i got a friend who is a cop who just wrote it off. But be watch out for the cops. What i always do is just roll down the window.
