He is talking about my ENTIRE windshield being tinted 35%. I'm sure its illegal everywhere. Never heard of going to jail for it. Couple of my buddies have had to pay $100 ticket or so for theirs

I used to have my WS tinted in 35% it was nice, but the idiot who installed it cut it short, and the glass where the hole for the vin # was not tinted, and it was noticeable that the WS was tinted.. i liked it though, no need to wear sunglasses..

This is how it looked:

Yea I like mine. All 3 of my trucks have had 35% on the windshield. Riding in vehicles without tinted windshields at night sux to me now cause all the car lights blind me.

Since you can't see out at night with all the reflections, that shouldn't be a problem. There was a person here in NC just last week that killed a person because of their tinted windows and the driver stated they did not see her crossing the street. A very bad idea.

So now its day 6 of 10 since i got pulled over. I just took the tint off myself. No problem...once they started to peel it was good to go. I had to use amonium and a razor blade to get the left over glue off. Hope those flares get here in time. Im going to put them on black unpainted for now.

Put on your stock wheels if you still have them.PA vehicle code says that your tread (i beleive) cant stick out beyond widest part of fender at all.I got same warning ten years ago with F250 with 18x39 Mickey thompsons.

Show me where it says this? I believe it's just a non-moving violation.

I tried to look just now for a quick minute but couldn't find it again. I've been told by a couple of officers that its a felony and I've read it some where. I just can't find it.

These wouldn't be orange county officers would they? I wouldn't trust any of those.

Just to make this clear, the cop was jealous of your ride. Really, he see's a kid in this nice *** truck with some nice tires and wheels with a nice looking girl. He starts to think 'look at this punk kid, i'll teach him' but he didnt teach you any thing except that he is really insecure(sp)

yep .. roll down your windows, and if it is at night, hit your dome light .. that way they don't even think abuiot how dark your tint is
