in florida the law states the front 2 windows can be no darker than 35% tint. i have 20% tint with 5% tint on top of it, which is really dark. i know alot of people down here with 5% and have no problems with police. for you just dont go too dark and you should be ok

my two front windows are tinted to match the factory tint on the rear windows. while i'm not sure what PA's legal limit is exactly, i do know i'm over the legal limit. my truck is black, which makes it even more obvious. my f150 has been tinted like so since July of last year... before the F150, my black ranger had the same tint job for about 4 years... i've never had any legal problems with my tint (knock on wood).



my friend's girlfriend lives in Jersey, right near Rutgers... she had her windows tinted pretty dark (don't know the exact percentage), and was pulled over for it. if i remember correctly, they gave her a "fix it" ticket.... once she removed the tint from the two front windows, the ticket was taken away.

Yikes! I bet that's really dark at night!

I've got 18% on the fronts and the legal limit is 35%. I also just passed the state inspection last month, so no problem here!

I have mine tinted, but legally. So you know the reason its illegal in some states is #1 it can be a safety issue for cops when they pull someone over and can't see them clearly, and #2 as some people have stated they need to roll down their windows at night to see something which is obviously a safety hazard.

I have 20% on the fronts. I think 35% is legal in Indiana. used to put 5% on but got tired of not being able to see at night. My neighbor has 5% all around including the whole windshield.

ive got 5% all around and 25% is the limit here. never had a problem. if you get pulled over at night, i've been told to just flick on the in-cab lights and you should be fine.
