I was driving off campus and a cop is sitting at a stop sign. I stop then go and a few seconds later he is pulling me over...Im like wtf...so I pull over and he tells me I have to take the MUSTANG logo off my front windshield and the pony off the rear....this is total bs. Anybody have legal limits for decals in the state of Pennsylvania?

according to this thread here Your State's Legal Window Tint you are in violation as it says PA says no to anything on the front wind shield. Now, I think he is just being a prick as your mustang does not come below the blue tint on your wind shield. As for the back, I think he is just being a dick there.

check local laws, here we have 6 inches on the front window to do what we want with, he was probably just jelous and wanted to make you remove something or some crap who knows. just check your local laws.

anything that can block your view is illegal, (thats for the back..) but as far as the front, he prob just tacked that onthere so it will be one charge.. MUSTANG would be fine, but the pony in indiana would get you pulled over

I couldn't get an inspection sticker here in MS back when I had windshield banners unless I went to a shop I knew would give me one. They've never said anything about my tint being illegal or my rear running pony, but who knows, sounds like he was just wanting to be a prick.

We have to follow the ASC1 guidelines, eventhough I'm nowhere near it.

PA has some weird laws. 95% of the cops dont care.. but you'll find a few that are jerks.

thats cause like me you live in AL, where there really arent many laws regualating vehicles...cept when they want to be pricks to the guys like me in lifted trucks, or like some of my buddies in lowered trucks....damn bumper law all of a sudden matters.
they wouldnt like my bronco too much in PA then..
this is below eye level for me too
