Dayton Ohio tint recommendation

[billmclaugh]

I'd like to get my wagon tinted to the legal extent that Ohio allows, thus four questions:

1. Considering there are essentially six windows, what is the legal allowance per window, for Ohio?

2. I have the Valentine One radar detector hardwired above the rear-view mirror. Should I forgo any tint with metallic composition?

3. What is a recommended tinter in the Dayton area? (If need be, I can drive to Cincinnati and maybe Columbus - or in between of course.) I've investigated Ziebart - they have a $99 special this week, but they use a metallic substance. Besides that, are they any good?

TIA

I can tell you that the legal limit in Ohio is 50% which is pretty light. In most cases you can get away with 35% and not have any problems. As for everything else I dont know.

hey bill where in dayton are you located?

I reside in the Kettering area.

Can all windows but the front windshield be tinted at 50%? I decided to forgo Ziebart, despite their $99 special price, due to the metallic nature of their tint.

Any good tinters in the southern portion of Ohio?

Yes all windows can be 50%. The front windshield can have a tint strip a certain amount of inches from the top of the window. I dont know exactly how low the tint strip can go on the front windshield though.
