    Varies by state. I think most allow it, but most forbid very dark/limo tint except for medical/business reasons.

    How about visiting out of state with tint that is legal in their home state? Is there any exemption?

    My understanding is window tint on side windows hides the intentions of the driver to a police officer. That is why it is illegal in some states.

    I suspect that is you're just passing through, not likely an issue. If you're there for an extended period of time, and/or get pulled over for something else like speeding, it could be an issue.

    It is Ilegal to install tint on front window and front side windows in Denmark. The climate doesn’t introduce the need for it either....unfortunately. Some does it anyway, but it’s considered a bit gangster style...

    Found some pictures of a Rosso Corsa with tint. One thing to keep in mind is that I believe the two rear side windows are not glass. I think there are some low-adhesive options that might be able to go on underneath the actual tint.

    They make 90% tint at least with Crystalline 3M, it's basically clear film but has a TOTAL SOLAR ENERGY REJECTION % of 34%, Infrared rejection of 90%, UV rejection of 99%, and Glare reduction of 3% because it's basically clear. I got all these numbers from the 3M site so take it for what its worth.
    90% would look like you have no tint but still gain the benefits of tint regarding interior temps and UV damaging light protection.
