I live in Downingtown Pennsylvania and want to tint my windows. I want to get my windows basically as dark as possible, does anyone have any info on rules and regs? Run into any cop trouble? Etc? Thanks.

You gotta have at least 70% light coming through ur windows. I live in philly and im looking for the same thing. Theres a website that you go to but when i find out i'll let you know.

 

I believe the mandate has changed, any film on the front two windows is not street legal. I believe you can go as dark as you like on the rear 3, as long as it is still transparent. I know you can pass inspection with window tint all the way around. It is legal to pass inspection, just not street legal. I had this problem with my old accord, I had all the windows tinted, and had problems finding someone to pass it, then a couple years later Scott Honda out of West Chester told me that they could now pass my car but they let me know it was not street legal.

I then got pulled over and the cop made me put my window half way up and put a little box meter over my window and it gave him a digital reading? I got fined and told he didn't want to see me around again with the tint. Needless to say, I left the tint on

 

Just called Colbert's off on Rt. 30 in Thorndale and made an appt to get my windows done. Anyway i was talkin to the guy and he said that all tint is illegal, yet they still do it. So yea **** that im still gettin it done.

 

I dont get it. There's millions of cars out there with tinted windows. Some cases tinted windows can be a good thing. But because of a few penises out there we all gotta suffer. Grrrrr. Im getting all of my windows tinted whether they like it or not. I drive by cops in my friends car and he never gets pulled over and his tints are normal dark. Not the so dark where u cant see anybody. Its the coooool dark.

 

OMG!!! Colberts keeps getting cited. I live in Coatesville, Don t know if you've seen me I have the Pearl Prelude with the Kit and Big wheels...anyways..I keep getting pulled over by Caln, West Whiteland and Lower Merion...They told me I need to take it off and told me to go to court to go against colberts. I will say more But class is over..lol

 

Ok...so on with my story...I am ALWAYS getting pulled over...Nothing recently because I drive with my windows down. The cop put the meter on my window as well and measured that only 20% of light was shining through my windows...Don't know how this happened when I wanted the 40% tint...but anyways Colbert has been getting crap from State Police left and right. If you get the tint done from Colberts, they will give you a reciept without their name or logo on it because in case you get caught, you don;t have any proof they did it. Also, because they have been getting cited the prices to get Tint done are ridiculous...

 

My understanding is that tint is legal for businesses to put on, and legal to pass inspection, but not street legal. I believe the only way this company can get into true legal trouble is if they tell their customers that it is legal and/or that they will not be pulled over for having it.

 

There seem to be a lot of Prelude people in PA, any prelude meets anyone knows of?

 

I still dont understand how tint is illegal. I guess cops out here just dont care if u tint ur windows.
