Somewhat related question...does anyone know why SUV's typically don't have the driver/passenger windows tinted? I was thinking of having it done but didn't know if it was some weird state law or something. I figured that would solve the blinding lights in my barely dimming side mirrors.
The reason the fronts are not tinted is because of the law. Each state has a law on how dark you can go on the front windows. If the front matches the back you will be illegal in most states and you will get pull over and fined and take the tins off. Check with your state and see how dark they allow the front windows to be tinted.
