Per the Ohio Dept of Public Safety, it says that windows must allow 50% light transmission, plus or minus 3 percent. 

Also, the degree of darkness does not vary from county to county.  It's the same state law appliacable to all 88 counties.

Wanted to get the wife's car tinted but I keep hearing different numbers for what is acceptable. Google search has been no help at all. Back in 2003 I had all 20% and I was fine for 4 years until the car got totaled.

I have heard 35% is fine now and someone even said the law has been changed to 50%...

Just wondered if anyone here had the scoop.

He got quit and did not tell me what it read. He put it away and told me it would have redone or removed. The guy was a motorcycle douch cop. We never changed and never had another problem. I guess it depends on the cop and whether or not they want to be a prick. To add to that I was late to my job because of the idiot costing me money. I was not speeding just trying to make a living honestly. I'm sure the whole time he had me pulled over some real crime was happening.

A friend of mine got pulled over for his window tint about 10 years ago. He told the cop he was well below the legal limit according to where he had it done, but the cop didn't want to hear it and wrote the ticket anyway. The cop did no tests on his windows. He went to traffic court with all his paperwork from the shop saying he was legal and some sort of reading that showed he was legal. The judge would not even look at it and upheld the ticket plus court costs.

Are you going to add the chain license plate holder and neon blue light under the car too?


Oh...and don't forget the fuzzy dice!
