you have it backwards.. VA legal is 50% up front and 35% on the rear.

the lower the %, the darker the tint

never had trouble with police, and even when i was pulled over for exhaust, he didn't question me about it.

i also passed inspection which i think heavily depends upon the station you go to and the people that work there.
you can pass inspection with 5% tint.. as long as its not on the front window, they cant fail you.

how do they "make" you peel it off? if a cop told me to do that i'd tell him to give me the ticket.

i guess i was just lucky then. my car was white, but i think the contrast would attract more attention to my tint.
oh well, the car is no longer.

California Tint in Great Falls does a great job and can hook it up on how dark you want it. The inspector I work with tells me that checking window tint consistentcy is all up to the local and state police. I passed inspection at a seperate station from the guy I work with @ 12% darkness, but 2 weeks later got a 84 dallor ticket from a state boy on rt.7.

I have 35% all around and got it done at Quality Tire in Woodbridge.


Is it true that state troopers are the only cops that can pull you over for having a dark tint?

County cops and state boys can both pull you over for having too dark of tint. Its shitty, but we gotta live with it.
