welcome to the forum first of all... secondly, i drive around your area all the time up to Robert Morris University off University Blvd. i know exactly where you are at! what percentage of tint do you drive around with? I was thinking about 35% tint just to play it semi-safe
ORIGINAL: *****
Just to throw in my 2 cents...
I currently have an srt-4 (I'll be buying a Mazda 3 or 6 shortly) with tinted windows and I live in Pittsburgh. I was pulled over 2 years ago for illegal tint. The PA tint laws are extremely vague on purpose. I fought it but eventually got the bone. They said I could pay the fine or remove the tint. I paid the fine. This was in Killbuck (around Sewickley area). I've had tint on my car for 3 years and obviously driven past many, many cops. 99% of them don't care and leave you alone. There is always the one jerk that is going to bust you for no good reason. When I get my Mazda I'm going to tint my windows. To me, it's worth the risk. I think the car looks a lot better with tinted windows.
I got my windows done at auto image on Banksville Rd. They did a good job for a very reasonable price. I'll be going back there.

Welp, I have been in San Diego, and didn't have the time before to take the pictures of my car to really show you the tint. The 35% is very nice.
I did get popped on my Solara once...that also had 35% all around...although for some reason it looked darker. Maybe because it was a coupe...less windows...who knows. But I got pulled over because I rolled through a stop sign. So, it gave him a REASON to pull me over, and decided to get me for the tint instead of the stop sign. Obviously, he told me to remove the tint, if I didn't, I would have to pay a fine. Which I think was like $104 or something like that. I never did take it off. I paid the fine. They left me alone after that.

RE: window tinting.....
Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town for a few days.
2 things:
1. I went with 35% in 3 back windows and 25% in front two. As long you don't go nuts with it they should leave you alone.
2. And yes, I agree allyssa is pretty hot ;-]
