3. WINDSHIELD TINT REGULATIONS In many regions, non-reflective tint is permitted only above the AS-1 line—the line typically marked on most vehicle windshields to indicate where tinting can begin. This ensures driver visibility and safety. The specific percentage of light allowed to pass through the tinted area can vary by location, but it generally falls between 70-75% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), meaning the tint must allow at least 70-75% of light through the windshield. Always check local regulations to ensure compliance with these limits. Page 03

4. FRONT SIDE WINDOW TINT LAW Nevada’s front side window tint laws mandate that at least 35% of visible light must pass through the windows. This ensures a balance between privacy and visibility, keeping drivers and law enforcement safe. Additionally, reflective or mirror-like tints are strictly prohibited. Tint films should not reflect more light than a standard window, preventing glare and distraction for other drivers on the road. Always ensure your window tint complies with these legal standards to avoid fines or penalties. Page 04

5. Page 05 REAR AND BACK WINDOW TINTING REGULATIONS When it comes to tinting your vehicle's rear and back windows, regulations can vary significantly based on the specific location of the window. Each state or country may have different laws, and these rules are often based on the percentage of light that must be allowed to pass through the tint, known as Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Rear Side Windows Rear Windshield • Tinting regulations for the rear windshield are usually more relaxed compared to front windshields. In many regions, the rear windshield can be tinted as dark as desired, as long as the vehicle has side mirrors that provide visibility. Common VLT percentages for rear windshields range from 5% to 30%. For instance: • Florida allows a VLT as low as 15% for the rear windshield. • New York requires a minimum VLT of 70% on all windows, including the rear windshield. • Many states permit darker tints on rear side windows compared to front windows, with typical VLT limits ranging from 20% to 35%. This means that 20% VLT tint allows only 20% of light to pass through, providing greater privacy and UV protection. For example: • California allows any darkness on rear side windows, as long as the vehicle has dual side mirrors. • Texas permits a minimum VLT of 25% on rear side windows.

6. IMPORTANCE OF COMPLIANCE Failing to follow local window tinting regulations can result in fines or required tint removal. It's important to check your state’s specific laws to ensure your vehicle is compliant, as the limits can vary not only between states but also depending on the type of vehicle (e.g., SUVs vs. sedans). Always verify your region's tinting regulations to avoid legal issues and ensure your vehicle is within the safety guidelines. Page 06
