50 down is illegal but they give you 7 points so 43 and lower is considered illegal. Honestly you dont get to much protection from the sun with legal tint. I just bought a car monday and tuesday on my way to work a state boy with nothing better to do pulls me for my tint. I asked the asswhole if I could just pull it off infront of him to neutralize the problem but the fucktard wouldn't. I was polite and ended up with a 86 dollar fine after the processing fee. Virginia is terrible for nickpicking. On top of it the tint took me a total of 30 seconds to take off. i hear good things from tnt tint, but I wouldn't do it.
