Tint shops will always tell you any tint is legal. It promotes their service. They don't care if you get a ticket.

To each their own, the tint look was never for me and I never really got the interest. I do want to do a UV tint on other car to reduce heat inside the cab. What is the tinting law in Canada? |

Same as California. They just don't enforce it with much vigor. It does make a good additional ticket if you piss them off and they want to get everything they can or a replacement ticket instead a worse charge if they like you but still have to do something.

Well this shop was like "here's the tint this is legal and this isn't" so I chose the legal one. I'll go back to the shop and see what they say. I did get lifetime warranty let's see if that helps me in anyway lol.

My car is catless and has a TRD exhaust I honestly thought that was the reason he pulled me over but I guess.

Thats a good point about the glass not breaking, that is if you even carry an emergency shatter tool. I always worry about a poor tint job or sloppy work or hairs/ bubbles. I'm pretty anal and I always thought I would see something that would be in there it would bother me for ever, or the tint place would scratch up my interior. I was looking for a tint on my other car and I read a bunch of yelp reviews that turned me off to tinting in general. |

Tint is neat, but unfortunately it is toe-ing the line and police use it as a reason to pull you over and look for other infractions, much like having a taillight out, or something covering part of your license plate. |

He's not 100% accurate but it is pretty tight. Combined it can't be more that 12% and it can't reflect more than an OEM window. Here's a reference.

I am not catless but I do have the TRD exhaust. It isn't the loudest exhaust I have ever had but have been pulled over for less. I carry the TRD options from the dealer in with my documents so if every hassled I can pull it out and show it is a legit option for the car. Never had to use it though. Probably because I was prepared.

Infra-red is what brings the heat to cook you, and microwaves from the radar gun.
UV won't help with the heat, only cancer.
