Illinois Window Tint Laws and Regulations
When installing window tint on your vehicle in Illinois, it’s important to be aware of local regulations to avoid fines or penalties. In Illinois, you can apply up to 35% tint on all side windows and the rear windshield for sedans. For SUVs and vans, darker tints are allowed on rear windows, but the front two side windows must still allow 50% of light to pass through. Tinting the front windshield is only permitted on the top six inches with non-reflective tint.

Please keep in mind that reflective tints are prohibited on any windows, and Splash Hand Carwash & Detail adheres to all local and state laws when performing window tinting services. Our experts ensure that your vehicle meets all legal requirements while maximizing the benefits of tinting.
Failing to comply with window tint laws in Chicago can lead to a variety of consequences, from costly fines to potential safety hazards. If your vehicle’s tint exceeds the legal limits, you may be ticketed, and the fines can accumulate with each violation. Additionally, non-compliant tint may lead to your vehicle failing inspections, requiring costly removal or replacement to meet state standards.

Top Benefits of Automotive Window Tinting
1. UV Protection and Heat Rejection
One of the most significant benefits of automotive window tinting is its ability to block harmful UV rays. Both our carbon and ceramic tints block up to 99% of UV rays, which can lead to skin damage and cause your vehicle’s interior to fade over time. The ceramic tint goes a step further, offering superior heat rejection by blocking infrared light, which keeps your vehicle cooler.
2. Enhanced Privacy
Whether you’re parked in a busy Chicago neighborhood or driving through the suburbs, window tint provides an added layer of privacy. Darker tints prevent outsiders from seeing into your vehicle, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are safe and your privacy is respected.
3. Improved Safety
In the event of an accident, window tint can actually improve the safety of your vehicle. The tint film holds shattered glass together, preventing shards from causing injury to passengers. This feature is particularly important for families and frequent commuters who prioritize safety on Chicago’s bustling roads.
4. Aesthetic Appeal
Window tint gives your vehicle a sleek, stylish look, making it stand out from the crowd. Whether you prefer the subtle look of a lighter tint or the bold appearance of darker shades, our window tinting options enhance the overall look of any make or model.
Frequently Asked Questions for Window Tinting
How long does it take to install window tint?
On average, window tint installation takes about two to four hours, depending on the vehicle type and the number of windows being tinted. We always aim for quick and efficient service without sacrificing quality.
Will window tinting affect my visibility while driving at night?
