Default Get your tint on!

Well, while I was at the 2008 All Truck Nationals I decided (impulse buy) to get my front door windows tinted. There was a company, Tintsmith, there that was tinting onsite. There were also other companies at the show installing mods onsite. I am very pleased with the work Tintsmith did. They are based out of New Jersey, with another shop In Philly. The company did a 35% tint on the windows using a high perfromance hybrid tint with a life time warranty. Let me know what ya guys think. I am gonna post some pictures of it, with the intentions of posting more tonight!

Yes, what did it cost? I assume that'll pass PA inspection...I think it's legal to have the sides tinted, just not the windshield.

Thanks everyone, I believe he said it was a newer 3m product, he charged me $100 bucks for everything, which I thought was reasonable and very competitive compared to all the local guys.

Yes its legal according to Tintsmith and after doing some of my own research, I found it is legal and inspection stations will/can not fail you over tinting http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms.../chapter45.pdf as long as the vehicle can be seen into, which in person, mine is pretty visible, which I was looking for. Also this site put together by a gentleman kinda interprets the PA laws, codes and such, and I agree with him. There is not exact enforceable wording where a fine can be cited for tint, for that matter probable cause to be pulled over. http://www.berksweb.com/users/dmv/tint/legal.html
