Tint: Keep % the same for front and back?

[Benzadmiral]

Every year here you have to pass a safety inspection, and the stations in my parish actually put a light meter on your front windows to check. So I didn't want to go too dark. I simply wanted it to look like it came from the factory that way. But nowadays some bigger vehicles like the SUVs have the rear doors, and the glass beyond them, darker than the front glass. So I had the rears done a little darker.

It's a subtle difference, and it's not really noticeable.

Unfortunately, 35% is still not allowed if you have factory privacy glass, which I assume an extended cab Silverado is. Only 50% is allowed. Sure seems like it would have been easier for them to just make it 35%. Mostly the Chicago area having problems still with cops stopping people from what I have read. Haven't been any issues in our town since the law changed. And they pulled people over like crazy before the change for anything on the front.

ILLINOIS Tint Law Addendum:
New law effective October 30, 2009:

· Front side windows, back side windows, rear window-

Ø Option 1—If the consumer chooses to have below 30% vlt on rear windows behind the driver, then no film is allowed on the front side windows

Ø Option 2—If the consumer has clear factory glass on all windows, then 35% vlt film can be installed on all side and rear windows

Ø Option 3—If the consumer has factory installed privacy glass on rear windows, 50% vlt is allowed on front side windows (Ex: SUV, MPV, crossover, etc.)
