Mines tinted. Shop didn't even ask.
I suppose all this doesn't really matter if you have a spoiler.

In Cali, front windows are not supposed to be tinted at all. But everyone does it anyways. Only matters when you get caught
But the shop I brought it to didnt cut any tint off just to get around the brake light.

In VA, I was asked if I was going to get a spoiler (with the third brake light), which I was. So they tint the whole back window w/o cut out. But I think it is illegal to tint over the third brake light if you don't have a spoiler.

Tinting deck stop signal light is illegal in NJ, possibly in other states too, but not in NY. I know sonce I recently got through moving to NJ in getting my cars inspected. I had to remove tint from two front windows and then from deck light to pass inspection 
So now I am looking for a relationship with local NJ shop to get me through my next inspections since I am about to tint my TL and all 5 windows, it just looks plain ugly with 2 cleared fron windows
Anyone in NJ can recommend the shop: tint and inspection?
