it is not legal to tint your front windows but if you do them a really light shade i doubt you will get in trouble for it.

But if you do it limo (5%) than you are increasing your chances of getting a ticket for it.

I am planning on doing mine 20% in the front and limo in the back windows.

From the CHP

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

The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:


  1. The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
  2. 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.
