Window tinting is silly and has no redeeming value.

You guys need to grow up...or grow a pair. Your choice.

Your response/comment provides zero "value" to the discussion. It serves no purpose, other than caressing your own fragile ego. Oddly, you seem to derive pleasure from condemning others. That is sad.
Yes, nothing about the tint laws have changed in the last several years. Keep in mind that a vehicle on a truck chassis can have totally black tint on any window behind the driver. This includes minivans, SUVs, and even crossover cars that you wouldn't think are on a truck frame.
However, there are also a lot of illegally tinted windows out there. It's difficult for officers to enforce, because not every officer has a tint meter. I've found the inspection stations are mostly useless in NC, since many will pass anything that comes through just to get their inspection fees (unless that shop is able to fix whatever is wrong with your car, and it'll get them more money).
So, unless you have a car on a truck chassis, it's still illegal to go below 35%. You may do it anyway and not get caught for a while, but it only takes one officer looking for tint violations to catch up with you one day.
you can still get it inspected if you know the right people... i got 20% all the way around and its been up there since 03
Just to let all of you that say I have somebody that will pass me and mines 20% if they get fined are caught doing that you also can get fined. If you get inspection done and pull out of station that just inspected your automobile and dmv are cop pulls you over test your tint and it's below % and fails no matter how much u say (well they just passed me they said it's ok) YOU THE STATION AND THE GUY THAT DID INSPECTION ARE ALL GOING TO GET A BIG FINE!!!!

That was nine years ago so we will probably never know.
