Default Who has window tint on their car in PA?

I was thinking about tinting my windows sometime soon.I was just wondering how many guys in PA have theirs tinted and what % it is.Also how many have been stopped by Johnny Law for having it on.With my luck I'd get stopped as soon as I put it on and have to remove it.Thanks

Ask the court house what you are aloud to have.

I'm going to Bloomsburg University in PA soon so I'm glad to hear that my 15% tints will be tolerated...hopefully.

The max tint% in PA by law is 30%.
I hope this helps you!

edit: I think I read the law wrong... it says 70% light must pass thru. I think that means that lower than 70% is illegal.

I got pulled over a long time ago by a local cop for it. I haven't had any problems for the past 4 years however. I forget what % tint I have, but it isn't legal.

Damn... 5%.
Might as well just paint them black from the inside.
I hope it is a show car and not a DD. Good luck on a rainy night.

seriously though... isn't it very difficult to see out of a 5% window at night?

With my 15% now and my tinted tail lights i just have to put my windows down at night to see when i am backing up . And it isnt a DD and hardly ever sees rain so im lucky there. But since my car is black with all honest the windows do not look to dark at all, if i had a red or white car 15 would of been the limit.
