Hey Toyota people, looking to tint my car(15 LE base) to NYS regulations. Does anyone know if the stock LE base has uv protection? If I tint, what tint should I use? I heard 3M? Will tinting rear window be hard on a corolla?
I've seen a few videos on doing tint, planning to use baby shampo mix to move tint and either precut ebay tint or maybe cut my own, though I think rear window will be a pain to size. I have a heat gun. Please post any advice, thank you for reading.

Tinted windows… You are responsible for understanding the law
Even if you do business with a specialized shop, you could be required to remove the tinted films and pay a fine if they do not comply with the law.
A vehicle's original windows are already tinted. You must take this into consideration when applying an additional film. Generally, the front side windows let in approximately 75% of light. Adding a film, even if it is transparent, reduces the light by about 5% (75 − 5 = 70%). In this case, no film or other substance to darken the window may be added.
