I was just trying to drive home the idea that the reason for limits on tinting seem to be concerning safety, and with the fairly large disparity state-to-state it would seem some states value their "safety" more than others.

I would imagine that even with 115 degree days in the desert it doesn't get that much hotter inside a car than it does in FL (or at least it probably doesn't feel 25 degrees warmer), but that is another argument/discussion altogether.

That map is awesome Pete! Do you know how recent that is?

I'm not sure, but in the states I know the law, it is up to date. There are a bunch of web sites out there that list it as well, but this is a handy-dandy image.

your luck then. the tickets i've seen like mine required the car to be inspected by dmv. failing the test means u have to strip the tint then bring it back to show them so they write it off. otherwise i guess they get into penalties and/or license points/maybe suspension after a while. if they gave me a ticket with a certain fine, i would've paid it. i guess paying to retint it was sorta my fine.



That must be a state-specific thing. AFAIK (I've never gotten a tint ticket in NY, knock on wood), in NYS you can either can the tint taken off and have it thrown out (fix it ticket) or pay the fine.
