To my knowledge 35% and above is legal in all 50 states for any window except the windshield. You can put 5% anywhere except the front side windows and windshield. I think for the windshield you can't go lower then 7 inches from the top of the window, I know all rods have to have at least 7 inches of front glass when you chop the roofline. I could be mistaken though, it has been a while sense I have had to know these things.

That is incorrect.

yeah, each state is different. Someone in the past posted a list or a link to a site that gives the rules for each state.
I have 35% front (legal limit in Washington) 20% for the rest.
I see windshield tint all the time and it is easy to spot, but the cops here don't do anything about it until they get you for something else.
