Call your State Rep. if you care about this! And put some pressure on them to work together and make at lest 50% legal in our state.

there goes the tint business there

how about the new llumar AIR 80% . It pretty clear 43% heat rejection

Is this it http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus...ession=#actions

so what about tint placed before that... and what about factory tint???

Do the Police there have film on the front side windows ?

whether it was installed before this bill or not....it's still !llegal. and there's not a single vehicle anywhere that comes 'factory tinted' on the 2 front doors.

That covers any material whatsoever. No matter how dark, even a sunstrip would be !llegal from the sound of it.

Total Nonsense.

yep it's ridiculous....hopefully there are some smart guys out there working to change this BS law.

Problem is, Im afraid its just the beginning. With more and more hack tinters out there daily doing !llegal installs Im afraid more states are going to get even stricter

luckily the legislative alert we just recently received for Wa. state shows that they're easing up a bit on us.

Thats good to hear

just called my rep and basically told them that a law like this would really take a huge chunk out of our pockets and give the hack shops more of an advantage...I know most customers don't care about the law as of right now, so they won't give a %&$# about taking their biz somewhere else if we can't provide them the service they are looking for, no matter how good of a job we do or how professional we are...dang...I was really thinking it was gonna be a kick ass year too...
