its 35% for the rear and 50% for the front and it is illegal to have tint on your windshield..

If it came stock.. Take it back to the dealer and they will pay the ticket.

Is this Quanita? The car purchased straight from the dealership with that tint on the car (brand new)

1) Print a copy of the "Vehicle Sun-Shading Medical Waiver" found on DMVs website found under "Citizens Services-Vehicle Services".

2) Make an appointment with an optometrist for a check up. Follow the instructions on the DMV paperwork.

There is a tint limitation listed on the paperwork, however most of the time they don't even bother to check the tint if you have the provision on your registration. Mine was one time, but I still wasn't written a violation for it being too dark. With a validated medical waiver you always have a good chance in court.

Thanks for the information. I was wondering if there were forms that we can apply for. Here's the direct link for those who are interested:

G35. When the cop measured the tint it read 39%. I know the Legal limit in Virginia is 50%, but when he purchased the car from the Dealership it came stock with that tint. The car was purchased in 2003 with the Tint straight from the dealership. Is there a way to argue this case or is it just a lost cause in Fairfax County.
Legal Limit in Va is 35%Back, 50 Front two windows. How ever I was told by Fairfax County cop that you have a 7% leeway. But being at 39% makes you illegal. Only way is to go to the eye doctor and get a note then take that note to DMV. It allows you 35% all around. Also it will be on your information as soon as the cop pulls your tags up in the car.
