i see.
in addition to prohibiting the darker tints (the law calls them "sun screening devices") on car windows, hawaii law also prohibits the installation of illegal tints. owners of cars with illegal tints can be fined up to $500 for each separate offense. the installer of illegal tints can be fined up to $1,000 for each separate offense. hawaii law also requires tint installers to issue a certificate to the vehicle owner certifying that the tint complies with the law.
additionally, as part of the required annual safety inspection for all cars, the window tints are tested with light meters to ensure that the tints meet the requirements of the law.
it appears that it is easier to circumvent the tint laws in FL.
