Opinions on Tint

I bought an 03' Black EX and am currently looking for some window tint. I have no idea what the legal limit is in Virginia, anyone have an idea? Also anyone know a good place around Northern Virgina that is pretty cheap and does a good job? Thanks,
Jay

i also have a black 03 ex coupe, i got mine done 15% all the way around, in my opinion its perfect, yeah its illegal but meh, whatever, if you let the laws control what your car looks like.... well i dunno... but that aint cool

anyways, that was the perfect number for me, its perfectly matched to the car yet whilst driving on the freeway you can still see an outline of the driver and i can still back up at night, its damn dark though

usually its 35%.....but since u got a blk car light tint wont match the car....i have a 15% tint on my blk vic, check it out if u want see if thats too dark or too light for u. but i dont think u should worry bout the illegal tint so much, these days every car comes with tints....not to mention those luxury ones with dark a$$ tints.

when i moved out of selinsgrove and into philly i tinted my windows 5% except for the back window cus thats hard to do. ill have to pay some shop to do that one. if i still had lived in selisngrove i would have gotten ticketed within days. but here in philly cops dont care about weak *** auto laws. thay actually do their job and go after the REAL criminals. so im betting that if u live in a big city ur tints wont be a problem.
