Many customers ask what the legal limits are for tinting their vehicle’s windows or “what is legal tint in Alabama?”, the short answer is 32% (the lower the number, the darker the tint).
Alabama isn’t as strict compared to other states, but the legal tint limits are still high. For the best heat protection at Alabama legal limits, we recommend our nano-ceramic 35%. According to the ALEA (Alabama Law Enforcement Agency), tint limits differ by vehicle types.
