Illegal to tint the front two, and the windsheild. Most windows come with the factory 70% which is the only thing that's accepted.

What does tinting your sunroof do? Isn't there no point of tinting it because you got the visor that covers it?

Thats what I have but I'm not completely satisfied because you can see some shadows in the daytime when the light reflecting. I want something that is completely dark. Do they sell 0%?
