Why?

I think inspection stations now have to check the tint to make sure it's legal.
I had mine done at the dealer and they question weather or not it was legal cause it looked dark inside their garage. They told me they would put the meter on it.

Technically, you're also supposed to have front plates and amber reflectors to pass inspection. However, there are garages that would pass you w/o any of those. So, I'm pretty sure there would be a garage that would do it.

I went to a place in Westport, MA that does Huper Optik tint. The guy told me that they will do illegal tint but they will not give you a receipt.

Do you realize how dark 5% tint is? good luck backing up anywhere without hitting something.
