What VLT are your window tinted at and what are your states requirements?
What the law says in Colorado is: If the two front-most side windows are tinted (driver/passenger), then no tint may exceed 27% on any window of the vehicle. If the two front-most side windows are left clear (factory glass tint), then any other windows may be as dark as desired. Windshields in Colorado cannot be tinted to any degree except for factory glass tinting if applicable.

I run 28% all around on my 2010 MCS...except for the windshield of course.

Colorado Statute excerpt:

42-4-227(1)(a) Except as provided in this paragraph (a), no person shall operate any motor vehicle registered in Colorado on which any window, except the windshield, is composed of, covered by, or treated with any material or component which presents an opaque, nontransparent, or metallic or mirrored appearance in such a way that it allows less than twenty-seven percent light transmittance. The windshield shall allow seventy percent light transmittance. The provisions of this paragraph (a) shall not apply to the windows to the rear of the driver, including the rear window, on any motor vehicle; however, if such windows allow less than twenty-seven percent light transmittance, then the front side windows and the windshield on such vehicles shall allow seventy percent light transmittance.
