Darkest CA legal ceramic tint I could get

Oh and the custom plates showed up now we have a Mini Clubman and a mini Aussie with the same name KOZMO

 

Since when has it been legal in Ca to tint the front windows?

 

The Windshield is stock, the windows and sunroofs got tinted

 

From the angle and the reflections, I can't tell how dark the front windows are, but you *can* tint front windows in California - just not very much. The window/tint combination has to transmit at least 70% of visible light.

The factory tint inside the actual glass (not a film) probably transmits about 80%, so any added film can't have very much visible tint at all. But there are aftermarket ceramic films that block almost no visible light while blocking almost all of the UV light. That way, you can keep the interior cool and protected from fading without significantly changing the amount of visible light that gets through the window.

 

Some pics from this am with Ruth in the drivers seat so you can see the tint better

That's $370 plus the potential cost of an "illegal tint" ticket..
