Upcoming changes to NCDMV laws. With two important caveats. One, illegal tint (darker than 32% in NC) is still illegal. NC vehicle inspection stations just won't be required to check your tint during a State Inspection after 12-1-25. Second and most important, also part of the new law is when you are stopped by a law enforcement officer, you now MUST roll any tinted windows down as requested or required. For the safety of the approaching law enforcement officer. Let your friends and children know. You won't be able to just crack the window an inch or two. It must be rolled all the way down or as requested by the stopping law enforcement officer.
