I've read that only applies to trucks and SUVs, cars are 50% for all windows.

Gonna tint either way... 50% legal black all the way around or... I'll ask about the metallic tint too. If that is truly legal, and would be better, I'll go with that. Prob tint sometime this week.

Looking into some summer wheels and tires for next summer too... maybe black or gunmetal with a chrome lip? Will use the ones on there now as a winter set. Thinking of resurfacing and painting them...prob close to the same color.

Metallic or not, if their meter reads anything lower then 50% when your pulled over, your screwed. Metallic IMO, will just draw more attention to it.

Factory, most cars come with 95-90% tint. So when you do 50%, it will scan alittle lower then 50 BTW. But pretty much any cop will let that slide. When the tint is done, to be 100% legal, there is a sticker or seal the tinter puts on that says the tint is MN legal. If you have that, they can't ticket you.


And most doctors won't give a eye presc for tint. There is not way to prove you have sensitive eye issues unles your diagnosed with something acutal.

There is no real way to get around this and do dark tint. I've tried all angles. You can take the advice or run the risk of a 160$+ ticket and fucking up your insurance rates.

And if your interested, I'll sell you my summer wheels. They look brand new, and tires have 85% tread left on them. But I doubt you'll be interested since they don't fit your desc for wheels you want. But good luck with the tint, I'd do 50% and be safe, anything darker on white looks wierd anyway.
