A couple of shades past a ticket in CA.
Well CA has the legal limit at 70% which is almost no tint at all.
That looks like 15% my Ranger has 27% which is legal here in SC and that is darker then mine. My F150 has either 20% or 15% I can't remember but it looks like that.
I've had 35%. That's darker than 35%. More like 20%.
looks like 20%
That's been my experience, but I'm in a capital city, abundance of Troopers happy to help.
Since that does look so dark:
My state has a tolerance - 7% error allowance, your's too?, and
A health allowance - I have 'blond fundus' - as a former blond!
The appearance can vary depending on the ambient lighting and angle, but it looks like 20% to me.
My brother in law has a medical issue with his skin and has some endorsement on his license.
He can always ask a cop too.
Many people don't understand that a tint rated at whatever percent, lets say 35%, will be darker than 35% when installed on glass.
Many cars come with 85-74% on the door windows and rear glass, SUV's and minivans much darker except for the front door glass.
So if your state allows 35%, a cop will fail it using a tint meter if you have 35% tint installed.

Ticket for door windows, but not the back, 20% is legal on the back windows

Looks similar to my Jeep's.
35% front, 20% rear.
35% front, 20% rear.
Rear?

True enough but drive through Needles CA and roll em all down. Big revenue item there. Back is ok though.
