I would think that a decent tint shop would have a meter.

Agreed, go to a tint shop with a decent reputation and they should have a meter. In WV we have a maximum allowed tint too and a state inspection sticker is required yearly. Anyone with that license has a tint meter too.

Can you believe that there actually are people in this world who don't like tinted windows? The horror!

Oh... I'm one of them.

THANKS GUYS.....for all the input...

i was figuring on getting the 35% tint (even though it would put me past the allowable light blockage)....the 50% is just too light!
