In August, I'm moving from California to upstate NY (Troy/Albany). I've just purchased an '02 Impreza OBS and would like to have the windows tinted, but I've got a few questions.

As far as I can find out, NY tint laws allow 30% on the front and rear door windows and any% on the back. I've also read that "a sticker identifying legal tinting" is required on each tinted window (http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/NY/). Can someone verify that this information is correct? Also, does anyone know whether _any_ tinting shop can supply the requisite sticker (i.e. a shop in CA), or whether it's something I'll have to get in NY (meaning that I should wait until I'm in NY to get the tinting)?

Also, I'm wondering how people in NY have tinted their Impreza wagons. In CA, the "standard" is 50-70% tint on the rear doors and back glass, with the front driver's and passenger's windows left clear. Given NY's tint laws, I'm looking at 30% all around, or 30% on the front/rear door windows with 50-70% on the back. Is that what people generally run? How's it look with 30% f/r and 50-70% on the back? Any pics?

Thanks for the help,
