Tickets for Tint??

Since so much discussion pertains to tinting, etc. I was wondering how many .org members have actually been ticketed or had a problem at vehicle inspections with tint that is darker than the local laws allow.

I have not had any problems, but my tint is only %5 darker than law here. If I had %5 limo tint I think that I would eventually get hassled.

Here in PA 70% is legal limit

I was ticketed and given an order to remove within five days and go to police station to show them. Needless to say, I was very unhappy.

Tint was at 35%. PA law is ambiguous and subject to interpretation but there is no legal recourse if ticketed.

I'm getting some Platinum tint soon. Here in CA, I think you can have any tint on the rear doors and window, and no tint whatsoever in the front. I'm probably getting 20% throught the rear, or just 20% on the back window, and 35% on the rear doors. I'm still debating on whether I should get tint on the front doors. My friend already got ticketed twice for it. If I do, I'll probably get something like 50% or lighter.

if you're going to tint the front windows 50%, dont even bother. it's too light.

Well, I kinda want the cosmetic benefit too. Even though 50% maybe too light, would it still have the metallic mirror-like finish?
