yeah all your windows can be done (except the windshield I believe)...the back can be pretty dark, and the front widows I believe can be 20% (means, 20% of light can get through...its still pretty dark). I found a good website when I was researching it a few years back that had all the states limits...I'll see if I can find it again.
EDIT: here is one site...my numbers are wrong according to this site

second on this place...........they have done all my cars and do excellent work. They also use 3M tint which is guaranteed not to fade and if it does(for some unknown reason) it is replaced for free.Ohms said:
Went to Super tints on Friday and had the wife's Forester tinted. They did a fantastic job that is far better than what I had done on my ZJ a few years ago at another shop. Their work looks as good or better than the factory stuff. Great place and great work. Thanks for the sugestion guys.
