depending on where you put it. anything from the rear passenger window back is legal. any tint on the windshield and front door windows is illegal but with a light enough shade you can get away with it.

a tint shop near me charges around $120 for the rear and 2 windows. I bought pre cut tint on ebay for $30 for all the windows and did it myself. doesn't look that bad but the rear window is really hard to do so I got it professionally done. If you want it to look nice get it done by the pros but if you don't mind a few creases and want to save some money then you can do it yourself lol.

Rear is a pain in the ass. With some patience and a heat gun it can be done. I did it today but ruined a lot of good film in the process...F**K you have to try to learn how to do it. Side windows are easy but if you want a good job definitely listen to garry and get professionals.
