Suggested Tinter local? or in Newport News/VA Beach, VA??? - SStratman - 09-06-2006

Just curious if anyone knows of a good tinter locally here by H-burg or maybe someone knows one in my hometown area of Newport News/ VA Beach?

Basically when I got car it was tinted but its not very good (purple ) tint and more over left passenger window is missing tint unlike all the others in back


Anybody know the tinting laws for VA?
I know front driver and passenger windows arent supposed to have any I think. Then I know the rear drivers and passenger side windows and quarter windows are a less % then the rear window can have but I dont know the percentages allowed?

Thanks

As anyone had any luck/expierience with tinting lower than that?

My friend had a car that was tinted like 20% all around, the few times he was pulled over (for something else) he just made sure to roll down the window all the way so it woudn't be a problem for the cop.

I think you can probably get away with 20% on a lighter car, as long as the car is not otherwise very obtrusive to the eye. I know a lot of people say that 20% is too dark, but I currently have it that dark on my car and really enjoy it. I think I would have been very disappointed with anything lighter.

i love my gangsta tint, good for doing a drive by, boyz cant see my gat till its too late cause the tint be so dark son.

But seriously i wouldnt even tint my windows if i did legal limit, if i did anything id do 35%-20% all the way around, screw doin the 50% its a waste of time and money, really does nothing and you can only tell its tinted on cloudy days.

i have 35% all around and have never been questioned. on my black car and black interior, it looks a bit darker to. when i go home i am gonna put on 50% to the front winshield (illegal). although, I do wish i had gone 20% all around so that i could be ridin dirty...

20% will get you pulled. I have 35% currently on a Silver car.
