what are the laws for having tint on your windows in PA... i asked a couple people that i work with and they said it's ok to have it, but no one is sure about the front windows... anyone know?
cops have told me numorous times that if they can clearly see into the vehicle at any time of the day, they dont care.
it's all up to the cops. my suggestion is go very light, it looks better that way anyways.
the guy that's going to tint them for me said 35 is ok for the front 2windows and anything below that is alright on the back ones, and the guys at the inspection station said they haven't heard anything about there being any laws about it...
well you asked, i responded with my personal experiences with the police, i thought thats what you wanted.
and i honestly would not put anything darker than 15%, not only for cops sake, but because its safer too, i have 5% tint and i back into things sometimes cuz i cant see out at night.
do what you want though, but dont be upset if you get in trouble.
alright, thanks for that, i think i will go lighter...
definately would go lighter....And most Inspection stations don't know all the laws reguarding vehicle applications. I think is the word I'm looking for. all most of them are worried about is brakes, tail lights, exhaust if you need exhaust checks done, headlights and turn signals.
Just to let everyone know. The window tint law in PA was just revised about a month and a half ago... I will try to find out for sure what exact specs are... but a friend tints windows for a living and he was just telling me about it last week!! I know it gives an exact percentage....I'll find out for sure and update everyone!
the Lo Radiance is back... and maybe this year she'll be better than ever!
this should be locked, theres no definate answer. PERIOD. the law isnt even clear. i have double 20 on the rear three windows, and the cop who pulled me over had no problem with them, he made me take the 20% off the front windows on the spot though. just my experience, ive been pulled over 4 times since then, and noone cares aboutt eh back windows.
why should it be locked? alot of people ask these questions every day and it's good to hear if people know of any new updates, like lo radiance is trying to find out.
j schwagg you sho shilly!
in new york legal is 70% but i have 35% and 5 % and cops around here dont do anything about it i know ppl who have 5% all around

New York law isn't the same as Pennsylvania law.

you know, i love when people like to criticize others about their behavior,
but turn around and do the same freaking thing months later...
I was talking to a state police just tonight about it and he was like most of the time and i quote him " we don't care about that mainly speeding and some other violations if any" and " we have a meter to test the windows but I don't even know how to use and we don't even bother to take it with us" The guy was pretty cool. he says most of the time state police don't care. but you will have more of a hassle with locals than state police. But could also depend on your area. he was like most of the time town cops don't have jack to do but be D***'s about stupid things.
thats the same thing i was told, there are some cool local cops though, the one local usually stops by our saturday night meets to hang out and talk and he answers all the questions we have about tint, windshield banners, LEDs, underbody lights, ect. - most stuff kids dont know about being legal and what not, he answers them all and looks around at the cars and stuff and comments, it totally changed my mind about police
good cops and bad cops, i guess that has some meaning to it, they're not ALL dickfaces
Ain't it the truth. Just wish more of them wouldn't be such arses
well i go through a little town on my way to work every night and the cops pulled my dad and my neighbor over for doing like 4 miles over the speed limit, but everyone says as long as i do the speed limit through there(which i do) i should be alright, because a lot of the younger people i work with haven't gotten pulled over yet around there...
i got the mirror tint and havent had any cop or inspection issues , and on wed i wrecked the car and the cops didnt say anything about my tint being illegal
