Legal VS What you want
We get told many times a day from customers and potential customers, that they would like "The darkest film that's legal." There are many myths about the legality of window tinting, tint shades, and where and what you can use on your vehicle in Pennsylvania. We also direct our customers to the online resources available to better lay out the legalities in detail, however, the short answer is 70% on the front windows (which clear glass usually will meter around 70-78% depending on the make of the vehicle). The rear of vehicles is more lenient and there are more options available.
