    side windows are supposed to be lighter then the back which can be full limo.

    dunno about 93, I have not bumped my timing yet.

    2 quick questions...

    Whats the tint law? Everyone had tints but many times the side window were lighter. Is that law or just the way most people do it? Illinois is lame cause you can't really do the sides at all. I need to get mine done.

    Where's the 93 octane??? I never saw any. That would suck since my car is tuned for 93.
    I think the "law" on tint is 35% but I am not sure if it enforced here because it is so hot 4 mos out of the year. I have even seen a few cars with a dark tint on the windshield here.

    91 octane is max here and in CA and nobody seems to know why.

    Ya its 35% for the fronts and you can do limo for the rears. Its illegal to have your windshield tinted at all unless you have a medical condition that requires it. If they do pull you over for it they have a laser they put on your window to determine the visibility level and if its too dark you will get a ticket to remove it and appear in court. Once you get to court if you show visual proof (pic's) that the tint is removed they will drop the ticket. I have only heard of a few guys getting pulled over for it and it was dismissed once they removed it. But then again they both owned imports so go figure.

    91 is the best gas you can get out here.

    Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.

    Front Side Windows Must allow more than 33% of light in.

    Back Side Windows Any darkness can be used.

    Rear Window Any darkness can be used.

    Cool, thanks!

    I guess I'll have to pull some timing but at least I can finally get tinted.

    Haven't been to all of the towns/burbs yet but I thought Fountain Hills was pretty cool. There are no mountains in IL so I was impressed with the scenery up there. Would be cool to be that close to the lake, too.
