Window tinting

[evrodude]

I want to tint the rear window, the windows in the rear doors, and hopefully have a tinting strip for the front windshield on my '07 Civic LX sedan. I want to tint the windows in front doors too but not sure if it's legal in CA. Are there any tinting businesses in the south Bay Area, or on the Peninsula or even in the Fremont/Newark area that are reputable and know that rear windows in new civics contain the antenna so they do not use metallic tint? Thank you.

Tint laws vary from state to state. For the state of California it states that 70% light has to come through the front windows which is how pretty much is from the factory, you can do any% on the back and rear sides and have a 4" strip of tint on your windshield.

NYS is different. 70$ on the front and rear side windows, the back window can be any% and a 6" strip of tint is allowed on the windshield. I use to have 15% on all my windows but got 2 tickets and then I lightened my front doors to 35% and now I'm left alone.
