If I were to take a cross-country trip, would I be subject to the tinting regulations of the state that I was currently in, or would my out-of-state tags exempt me from local tinting laws?

Good question. I am sure you might get hasseled about it if you were pulled over but they probably couldn't give you a ticket.
Shadow Vibe - two tone (almost no need for the monotone in this color IMHO) - slate interior - power package - moon and tunes - abs - 16" aluminum wheels - and the GD on the radio! http://www.cardomain.com/id/db_vibe

I believe as long as you are not residing in the state you are ok...that would be based on your license I'm assuming...
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

Finally got my windows tinted on Tuesday. 35 in the front and 23 on the rest. I like how the clouds are reflecting on the windows in this pic.

No one does. "Too light," one guy said.But if I'm going to do tinting, I want something up front, for two reasons: 1) red-headed hubby is melanin-challenged and 2) tinting the back without tinting the fronts just looks wrong.So anyways, one shop just informed me that NOTHING is allowed on the fronts in Calif. anymore, as of 3 months ago. Hadn't heard that one before. Bummer.I'm thinking I have one way out... I can see if the hubby can get a medical exemption that would allow us to tint the fronts. Nothing major, maybe 50%. Then again, I may just do the backs 35% and say screw it. I really don't feel like being hassled by cops.What to do, what to do....
