IN OTHER WORDS...
windshield/ front driver and passenger/ rear driver and passenger/ rear window/ year of enactment
5 inches / 50% Film / ANY* / ANY* / 2004
Note : Director of Ohio DPS determines what degree of tint that is legal on motor vehicles in Ohio. The tint law has been known to be enforced on out-of-state cars in some towns.
Revised from 50% on all windows before. Mirrors on both sides are required for the dark tint.
I just have no life, that's all.
Sorry about missing your Grad party, house took over my life for the past few weekends. I'm almost done removing things for now. Not going out and doing simple, fun things is really driving up my stress levels.
Just so you know that the rear is 80% now as of this year. I don't know the ORC though.
Quote: no ofence man but if you have so much experience in all that why does your car look like crap?
OSHP states rear can be any tint level. Any window behind driver can be any tint level. Driver and passenger 50%. Front window 5" strip or A line, whichever comes first. I called the Norwalk post of the OSHP to confirm tint levels.
its alright about the grad party thing, things come up, alot of ppl couldnt show up for alot of reasons.
