We’re talking about window tint.

False. Certain states are what they call pass-through states, Virginia being one of them. It means that if you drive through here you have to follow our laws. It's really unfair for people who are on vacation, but also makes sense so people don't just register their car somewhere else so they can break the law
Remember, the topic at hand here is window tint not radar detectors.
With that being said, I’ve driven through Virginia before and I did receive a speeding ticket but absolutely nothing was said about my window tint which is darker than the State of Virginia allows.

I don’t have a pano roof but to get all of my windows done cost me $750.00 and my tint brand of choice is Huper Optik.
I also had my windshield done for $250.00 and again, my brand of choice is Huper Optik.
With that being said, the price quote of $600.00 dollars that you received sounds about right.
Any idea what brand they used for that quote?

So let me get this straight.........you’re telling me that if the percentage of tint in your State is not the same as Virginia, you cannot drive your vehicle in that State and if one does, they’ll get a ticket?

Its the same with lift height, I forget what the bumper requirement is in VA, but a lot of people from NC drive through here with their massive trucks and still get ticketed (no height law in NC)

I’ve always had my windshield at 5% and jut got a 2019 over the weekend and the difference w/o the tint is incredible- can’t wait to get my SD tinted.

I think you probably have this backwards...5% is the amount of light it lets through. 5% is considered "limo tint". I saw dark tint like that on a windshield one time at an auto show. I sat in the Hummer and could hardly see out.

LOL......5% on a windshield would be a very interesting drive/ride after the sun ☀️ goes down.

Looks good but that price is a reflection of the brand of tint and warranty.
