Applicability of law to out-of-state registered motor vehicles can vary, but AFAIK, vehicles registered out-of-state are by and large immune from tinting laws of other states. A couple of State examples follow.

Quote:

Ex 1 - NEW YORK: "12. It shall be unlawful to operate on any public highway or street in
this state any motor vehicle registered in New York state..."

Ex 2 - FLORIDA: "316.2951 Motor vehicle windows; definitions.--Whenever used in ss. 316.2951-316.2957, unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms have the following meanings:

(2) "Multipurpose passenger vehicle" means a motor vehicle with motive power designed to carry 10 persons or fewer which is constructed either on a truck chassis or with special features for occasional off-road operation.

(3) "Reflectance" means the ratio of the amount of total light, expressed in a percentage, which is reflected outward by the product or material to the amount of total light falling on the product or material.

(4) "Sunscreening material" means a product or material, including film, glazing, and perforated sunscreening, which, when applied to the windshield or windows of a motor vehicle, reduces the effects of the sun with respect to light reflectance or transmittance.

(5) "Transmittance" means the ratio of the amount of total light, expressed in a percentage, which is allowed to pass through the product or material, including glazing, to the amount of total light falling on the product or material and the glazing.

(7) "Windshield" means the front exterior viewing device of a motor vehicle. "
