Tint in Pennsylvania

I would like to get my windows tinted but not if it will bring Police harassment. I was wondering if any of you have any personal experiences with this.

Where are you located? I've had Feltch's do two handfuls of cars for me in the past and they are great. There's also a few shops in York, Accent Tint is another great one.

35% won't cause a problem unless you're drawing attention to yourself by other means.

as long as you dont got limo tint darkness you good.. even with that it depends on cops... but I have known people who have been ticketed for it and asked for it to be removed.. I have 35% and no issues.. friend had 20% on the sides and back and no issues.. again though as someone stated above it depends on if you got someting else for a cop to pull you over for

Stay out of York Township if you have tint. The local Evil Kinevil is on a personal crusade because of an incident he had with someone in a tinted car, and he'll pull you over just because your on the road. Had 35% all around on mine, and happened to be headed to the Giant one Sunday and he almost snapped his neck when he spotted me on Queen Street. No fine, but got a remove it citation.

Wow, yeah cops are really hit or miss in York. I've always had 35 and haven't had an issue but it's probably because the right one hasn't spotted me yet. lol
