Illinois window tint law change
Has anyone heard of the window tint law in IL changing? I've heard it from 2 different sources but I would really like to see it in official writing somewhere. I looked it up here http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/IL/ and I tried googling other words and can't find anything. Everything says you still can only tint the back, but I heard you can tint the front sides now.

(a) No person shall drive a motor vehicle with any sign, poster, window application, reflective material, nonreflective material or tinted film upon the front windshield, sidewings or side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver. A nonreflective tinted film may be used along the uppermost portion of the windshield if such material does not extend more than 6 inches down from the top of the windshield. Nothing in this Section shall create a cause of action on behalf of a buyer against a dealer or manufacturer who sells a motor vehicle with a window which is in violation of this Section.

Thanks so much for taking the time to do that. Looks like you still can't put anything on the front sides if I'm reading right? But I heard it changed just recently, maybe even last week. I'm wondering if web pages just haven't been updated? But thanks so much for showing me this anyway.

I don't think those .gov and tintcenter sites have been update but many people who are into cars that I know have told me the law passed late June that you're allowed to tint to 35%... as the darkest you can go on driver and passenger side windows.
Thanks to the last poster... I think that's the new bill people have been talking about. It states: Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to provide that a person may drive a motor vehicle with a nonreflective material tinted film that does not allow less than 50% light transmittance upon the side windows immediately adjacent to each side of the driver. I have 50% on my driver and passenger side... so guess I'm legal now. But might have to go darker!... 35% all around sounds sweet... Here's more links about the new tint law: http://www.cartype.com/page.cfm?id=929&alph=all&dec=ALL http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?p=4063777 http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...php?p=27205916 http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=290584 http://my.is/forums/f108/new-il-tint-laws-390182/ .

Ohh.. is he just doing it cheap for you, or anyone? I want mine done in a shop with a lifetime warrenty, but I've heard people pay over $300 and I just literally don't have that. I've also read people have gotten them done for under $100 but I would be worried about that being too cheap and getting bubbles/peeling and no warrenty..

I was down in Illinois this past week. Saw on tv that the new Governor was at the
state fair. Maybe he hasn't had time. Then again, look how long it took to get it passed through the General Assembly. Or maybe they sent it to Blagojevich by mistake. |

Update on this. This wasn't passed btw. After 60 days the bill becomes effective into law but on the very last day the governor veto'ed it. I'm not voting for Pat 'fu*ken' Quinn when the next election comes up.

Something was updated.. anyone want to read through it? I'll prob misunderstand the legal mumbo jumbo
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/Bill...ionID=76&GA=96 "11/3/2009HousePublic Act . . . . . . . . . 96-0815" edit: Ok, I took the time to not be lazy and looked at it closely and read some of the above links Chris posted and people were cheering its legal now. Now to get mine done, and figure out what to print for proof incase I get pulled over. This is the best site that breaks it down http://www.cartype.com/page.cfm?id=929&alph=all&dec=ALL don't see anyway I could be misunderstanding that! Last edited by wiirenet; 11-04-2009 at 03:43 PM. |

sweet. looks like TO ME that is says, if you have nothing darker than 35% in the rear, then you can have as dark as 35% on the front sides.
and it says if you have nothing darker than 30% in the rear, then you can have as dark as 50% on the front sides.
