Just thought I would post up a pic how my white truck looks with 35% tint on the front windows.

I've had 35% on my previous truck, and think it is just right for me - gives a great look, plus you can still see well at night.

Plus, this is what is just about legal in Penna.

 

Looks good. "just about legal?"

 

From what I have read, PA allows 70% light transmission which would equate to a 30% tint.....

 

Looks good

 

looks good...I like the contrast.

 

I think you're confused on how tinting works (and if I'm wrong, I'm gonna look like an *** here). But the way I understand it, is that the tint % number, IS the amount of light that is being allowed to pass through the window, not how much light it is blocking.

Therefore, if PA only allows 70%, then you would need a 70% tint, because a 35% would be only allowing half of the required light through.

 

Well, you are right I think -

There are pages and pages of discussion on this for Penna - none of it is really conclusive, except for this fact:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Another page states this:

-----------------------------------

Front Side Windows Must allow more than 70% of light in.

-----------------------------------

So you are right since the lower the tint % of the films, the less light transmission.

 

Yep your right that means 70% window tint and that's just about a factory tint, well maybe a little more, I believe the rear window factory tint is about 30% and the front factory tint is somewhere around 85% but I haven't measured it yet.

I wish I could tint my windows in my new truck but I don't need the cops pulling me over to write me anymore tint violation tickets. I've had my share of them with my 07 Mustang GT. It gets old having to pay $50 every time you get pulled over

 

Looks great, I love the white/black contrast (stormtrooper) thing.

 

Hey Storm, you gotta Tonneau cover on your truck? what brand is it?

 

I went with the Truxedo LoPro this time - so far very happy with the looks and how it stays tight on the highway.

 

I like my Louisiana Law:

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 40% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 25% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 12% of light in.

Fairly dark if you ask me.

 

got any more pictures of it on the truck?

 

Sorry I don't - and getting too dark now for a good pic.

 

yeah, PA laws on tint really stink, it does mean like only 70% tint is allowed. here is a website I used to read about PA tint laws: http://www.berksweb.com/users/dmv/tint/

anyways, looks good, I also been going with 35% on my trucks too. A guy I work with just got busted for 20% on his front windows.
