Ya in Indiana it is a $500 fine with anything darker than 35% I have been stoped a few times, I told the cop about the car and how it is Mostly A show car, They were cool. No tickets and it has been since 99.

Red,

Man, you got lucky finding some nice cops. My girlfriend actually got a ticket for going 47 in a 45 zone. Police around here would write their own mother a ticket.

I think he got something like 3 tickets in the span of a year before he got fed up and had the tint removed.


Keep it real


Here is before....


Here is after....
What kind of tint is that?

Right now I have 35% all around(except the winshield), that is illegal on the front windows but no ticket so far. I have seen 50% I don't think it looks that bad,better then nothing at least.

Organizations/people tend to do things that make money hence the focus by police on traffic tickets, and drug siezures.

I just got my front windows done. 50% wasn't worth it and I wanted it to match the factory tint on the rest of the glass. Ended up with 23%. I know it's illegal but, it sure looks good!

Live in Ohio, had 35% all the way around on my Honda PRelude, I got a 100+ dollar ticket for it. I just do not tint my windows anymore its not worth it.

PrinzII:

There's a messageboard on this website (Tintdude.com). I believe quite a few professional tinters post on the site. I'd like to know if you find a product like the one you described. Let us know!

Don't worry. I will. I already have a bunch of peeps curious about that. I just want it for legality's sake.

Anyone in Pa have their cars tinted? According to the one website you can only have 70%. On my Volvo 740 wagon it is tinted pretty dark as it was a Florida car originaly. Havent had a problem with it yet, have had it for 5 years on Pa roads. I am thinking of getting the windows done on my '95 BMW ti and not sure yet on how dark to go.

Here is a site that I found on tinting windows in PA, or more about the laws.
