Are font window tints legal now in IL? I keep hearing they are. Is this true? 5% or what? Had tints on my blazer awhile back and kept getting pulled over. But I hear they are legal now and every cop I talk to says they aren't.

Thanks,

idk i know they became legal for awhile but i hear the law was revoked and are now illegal again but im unsure. anyways the law was you could have up to 5% on all the windows behind the drive and up to 50% on the drivers windows OR up to 30% on behind the driver and up to 35% on the drivers windows.

 

Ok thanks pal

 

I wish it was legal, my left arm is deffinantly more tan then my right because of those huge ass windows.

 

that's Illinois for you,always coming up with more bullshit laws,to make our lives uncomfortable.

 

yeah I thought it was legal for anything in the back, and 35% on front? If they revoked that, thats really crappy. But i don't care... i'm goin 15% all around soon.... People don't get too much trouble around here. And I even drive on the military base here... i don't think they care because so many people drive with dark ass windows... couple of my friends drive around with 15 and 5% so i'm doing it!

 

yes it was definately legal. it was approved in november of 2009. but ive been hearing as of lately the laws been revoked and tints are now illegal again. if you ask me it was just another money maker. everyone got tints because it became legal and now they can pull you over for them and ticket if its been revoked. ill check right now.

looks like its still legal from what i can tell. heres the link

it is state law you can have them.. but if the town wants to they can write you ive heard alot of guys gotten tickets in the city for this.

 

A lot of guys get tickets for not obeying the prcentage laws. Like some guys will run 15 percent on the bck and 50 percent on the side. That's illegal.

 

I've been driving around now since November, and haven't had a problem. I'm not 100% sure what my tints are, since I bought it with the tint from the dealer back in Nebraska. But they are tinted.

I also think it depends if you are doing anything else that will draw attention to your car, or give them some other reasons to pull you over. Driving around obeying all traffic laws vs speeding around blaring music with a loud exhaust. Because really? It matters.

 

the law hasent been revoked......i looked it up last night.

 

i have 29% in the front and 5% in the back i got pull over once and got a ticket kept them on and been good ever since knock on wood

and the fronts i was told 35% but the cop have a tinit meter and my fronts are 29.9% lol

 

i had 35% front, 20% rear on the balt

now i have 30% front, 15% rear on the evo.

I only got pulled over once in the evo, but that was 2 weeks before the new law went into effect. I've been fine ever since.

 

ive 35 in front and 5 in back. IL state law says its legal. ive never had a problem with cops regaurding my tints. lack of a front license plate is different lol

 

heres the law


you can have up to 50% on the drivers front and passenger front window and go as dark as you want behind the driver OR you can have up to 30% behind the driver and 35% on the fronts.
