My local shop (Renton) says 15% is the darkest legal tint on driver's window in Washington state - but - I see kids cars and limos with much darker tinting everywhere.
I have to assume they are not getting busted - so, Where can I get it done?

The darkest legal tint in Washington State is 35%. Anyone telling you different is lying....

That only applies to the front side windows. You can tint the rear side windows and the rear window as dark as you like. Some of the local police agencies will issue you a ticket for overly dark windows. My neighbor was one of the lucky recipients.

I had mine done at Jim's Detail Shop in Seatac. They did a great job.

Mr Tint in Bellevue, Did a great job, you can get any tint you like, if you go darker than 35% you just sign that you understand the law.
