Why don't you just put on legal tint?
You are correct sir. Insurance doesn't care unless its a moving violation, so don't fret over tint, seatbelt, child seat etc tickets.

And the police don't report anything to your insurance company. The police report to the DMV. Part of your insurance contract allows them to randomly pull your motor vehicle report from the DMV anytime they please. Most do it on your renewal date. For example, say on any certain day, your insurance company had 10,000 auto policies renewing on that day alone. They would randomly select say 10% of those for motor vehicle report review. To sum it up, your chances are slim, but when they do finally get you, you're screwed if you have a laundry list of charges.

For those wondering, accidents are a whole different ballgame. When your insurance company gets word you've been involved in an accident, your rates will be on the move as soon as your claim is closed, or as soon as it is sent for subrogation, whichever comes first, although some companies will wait until your next renewal to bend you over.

I think our cars come with a 92% tint or something along those lines. that could be the reason the meter read lower. my installer told me that 20% looked darker because of the factory tint.
