Legal limit in Va is 50%?? Thats nuts, I though floria's 28% was bad. I think you will be very happy with the 15%!

15% should be fine. I had 5% both sides and back on my camaro and it was pretty damn dark. I loved it but it was hard to see out of sometimes at night. I think 15% should look good.

i think 15% will look awesome, 5% can be really dark at night so just go with 15%

i'm pushing limo tint all around.. roughly 5%.


if you're gonna go dark, it's not gonna matter... just go all dark.


ive had no problems at night...


either way, if you go a little lighter on the fronts, it's gonna blend.


what i want to know is ANYONE ******* with tint on the windshield?

My friend just had her car tinted, I believe it was 15% and 5% rear. After a month of having it on here, she called me that she just got pulled over for the tint and that she received a warning. She had to have it fixed within 72 hours. The same tint shop that put the illegal tint on it, put the legal tint on after removing the illegal stuff, and charged her 70 bucks.

Why risk the extra expense....keep it legal.
