Your tint shop is wrong (or is just trying to sell you tint). In California you cannot have any permanent tint on the front driver and passenger windows.

You can have that static cling or other removable tint on the two windows (with, IIRC, a doctor's note) but it has to be removed after dark. And that might be a max darkness of 20%.

Yup, thats why I personally chose 50% as its dark enough to be tinted, but not dark enough to be noticeable. Helps that my car is a darker color, so the windows dont stand out if that makes sense.

Also i already find that even with 50%, in my neighborhood where it gets foggy, sometimes really dense fog, I roll down my driver window to make left turns. Also explains the varying tint from front to back.

**Signature picture, is both driver/passenger windows are down.
