My dad does this for a living and has the info and was also told so by the trooper that inspects his tools. Its up to police to enforce the law not the state inspection. Shelby. Ur not gonna make a difference so don’t even wast ur time. Man up and deal with it like everyone else. You want tint then you gotta deal with the consequnces that go with it. I have it, i know i could get pulled for it but i’mma keep it anyway and pay the stupid ass fine it i get it cause i don’t give a fuck. I hardly drive with my windows up anyway and i don’t drive the SS in the cold, ---

X2, see the only thing that pisses me off is that local depts seem to all have “their own” Law… Most places around where i live say that as long as the front 2 and windshield are not tinted your fine, yet mt lebanon begs to differ… Seriously, if they want it to be a set law wouldnt it be smart to stop it at the state inspection. and you just cant get your car inspected with tint on it… ---

I think you should send it, revised of course. No, your not going to get the law changed or get the Mt. Lebanon officers to change their ways but you have to voice your opinions to your legistators or you (the people) lose power. This is america and your best power and right is the ability to petition the government. ---

It has nothing to do with inspection. They can’t fail window tint on any vehicle unless there is crack in the window or what not. Yes its stupid but thats how it works. I have posted enough on this subject with hard facts but people still like to cry about it including the updates. -Its illegal for _car_ to have ANY aftermarket tint on ANY window because the factory windows are already tinted to 73% light admitance ANYTHING you add after puts it below the 70% MINIMUM admitance level. -Trucks, SUV’s, VANs do not fall into this rule as long as they have at least 19.5 Sq inches of mirror on EACH SIDE of the vehicle and IT CAN ONLY BE TINTED OR TOTALLY BLACKED OUT if its behind the drivers compartment. /thread /shelby /tint ---

He said he sent it to harrisburg and they want to review it and tell me and him what they think. He said he’ll have a copies of the papers they send back to him within 10 days, but told me that from the looks of it that I am right Woot Woot! 😃 ---
