    I think it depends how bored the cops are around your area.

    I'm not voting since mine is freshly applied. I sat on the fence since I got this car, I think it looks right with tint, but didnt want the hassel. I figured what the heck, lets give it a try and see what they have to say ;)

    It def depends on the cops in your area. In my township you will get hassled, but the next township over the cops could care less. I think you would def get hassled less if you do 35%. I've had that for about a year and so far so good.

    I had 20% on all of my windows and got pulled over all the time, so I took it off the front 2 and have not had any trouble since

    Its funny, everyone and every cop has a different story about window tint in PA. My friend is a trooper (by you in happy vally). He doesnt ticket people for it but it is a reason to pull you over.

    I got pulled over with 20% on my '89 by a county cop who was a major prick about it. He also pulled over 3 or 4 of my friends within a week but never showed up when we all fought the tickets.
    I just went with 35% on my '07 for two reasons. First, 20% was too much of a PITA to see out of at night. You could only really see lights. Second, I'm hoping there'll be less of chance of police problems with it a little lighter. Plus, when I was looking for the current laws, I found a few places that said 30% or lighter was legal on any windows, but I could be wrong.

    My cars have always been tinted with 5% in the back and 20% on the doors, and I never had a problem with the cops. I have been pulled over twice. Once for the car being too loud and the other to make sure I wasn't using slicks on the street.

    There was 5% on my corvette and never got pulled over. Any time I saw a cop nearby I'd just put my windows down. I bought a roll of 20% for my mustang; have yet to install it.
