Question 35% tint in Va. Beach

I'm planning to have 35% tint(all 5 windows) on my ride and do you guys think that is it too dark to get hassled by the cops around Va. Beach?? I know the law states 50% on the front windows but I want it equal all the way around..

you should be fine if your car is stock, if not thats just another ticket to add to whatever a cop decides to give you

35% is actually the legal limit for tinting if i'm certain. anything above that ur asking for it. it'll basically be the same tint as that lil strip on ur windshield.

No.

Front driver and passenger door 50%.
Rear/side windows 35%.

I recieved a couple tickets for having all around 35%, never been pulled for it, it's usually just an "add on" ticket.

The car in the sig is all around 20%

I had 35% up front then 20% on the back. Never had problems from it. Like the other guy, it was an add on ticket. Didn't get the speeding ticket, so I didn't care.

Dark tint really stands out on a white car. Especially a modded WRX. So I'd say yes. You will be hassled. But you never know with the VBPD and their equipment. When I had 5% on my 240 all the way around, I had cops measure it and get readings any where from 23% all the way down to .02% (yes I got a ticket for having 2 hundreths of one percent tint.)
