We all love the sleek, mysterious look of dark window tint. But before you blackout your ride, you need to know the rules. Indiana law is specific, and getting it wrong means expensive tickets. Here is your definitive guide to balancing the perfect look with the letter of the Indiana law.
The ‘Look’ vs. The Law: A Guide to Legal Tint Percentages in Indiana
Understanding Indiana’s 30% VLT Rule
For most vehicles, including sedans, the magic number is thirty percent. This means your front side windows must allow at least thirty percent of light to pass through. If you drive a passenger car, this limit applies to your rear windows too. Staying above this line keeps you street legal.
The SUV and Truck Advantage
If you drive a truck or SUV, you have a massive advantage. While your front windows are still restricted to thirty percent, your rear side and back windows can be as dark as you want. This is where you can legally rock that five percent limo tint without police trouble.
Is 5% "Limo" Tint Actually Legal?
Is five percent tint legal? Only on the rear windows of multi-purpose vehicles like trucks and SUVs. Putting this "limo tint" on your front windows or on any window of a standard sedan is a Class C infraction. We help you achieve that aggressive look where it is legally permitted.
Why Ceramic Tint Beats Dark Dye
Don't just chase darkness; chase performance. Cheap dyed films fade and turn purple, but our ceramic tint rejects heat and blocks UV rays without needing to be illegally dark. You get the cool interior and the privacy you want, all while keeping your vehicle legal and looking showroom ready.
