I've had 20% tint on all my cars and I haven't caught any grief. In May last year, I bought a brand new 2005 Ford Focus from the dealership and it came already tinted with 20% tint. I thought it was kinda strange that the dealership tinted it. They said something about it being a "show" car in a mall or something. The car had a total of 10 miles on it when I bought it, and the tint had only been on the car 2 weeks. I haven't caught any grief at all for the car, but I was just wondering about the legality of it. The actual window sticker that came with the car specified 20 percent tint on it for optional accessories. Would it make it legal if it came from Ford like that? I carry around the window sticker in my glove compartment if I ever get pulled over. I've had a cop ask me about the tint before, and I showed him the sticker. Well, after I showed it to him he didn't say anything else about the tint. I was at the BP off of Pleasant Hill when he came up to me. I understand that during a portion of last year there was no tint law. Did they grandfather everyone in who got tint during that period in time? Also, since it came from the dealership I wonder if it's actually illegal. Anyone else heard of dealerships doing this?
