Yeah, as gay as it is... even if you're from out of state and just happen to be passing through VA to get to another state you can get a ticket for the modified equipment.
Makes lots of sense to check each states laws and abide by them even if you're just passing through.
EDIT: BTW I can understand them enforcing stuff that has to do with safety, but exhaust, tint, and other non-safety shit is just stupid. I mean really, if your from FL and going to NY, are you really going to remove your limo tint because it's illegal in one state?
