Default Maximum tint allowed

I just got an S4 2001 and it's begging to have some tints on the windows. What is the most I can do without getting pulled over all the time. I live in Northern Suburbs and work in Northwest burbs. (of Chicago)

Any good shops? what should I expect to pay for 4 sides and back?

Default No guarantee, but you *should* be OK with 35%.

Both Shaded Days and Tint Works in the Libertyville area do a great job. Not sure about price . . . I paid $175 to have my Z done, prob. a little more for your S4.

Default well yeah . . .

duh. in IL tint on the front windows is illegal. Trust me, I have 9 tint tickets from the last year to prove it. The tint on my car is a little too dark for a white car though. When I had 35% tint on my black A4, I was only issued one tint ticket in 4 years.

Again, there's no guarantee (unless one chooses not to tint the front windows at all). Obviously, the lighter the tint, the less likely he'll be issued any tickets.

Default TANDA could get pulled over in a parking garage while he was shopping inside a store.

I think he gets pulled over all the time because he has dirty wheels.
