    Default Is it illegal to tint the tint strip?

    Not looking to bring it down lower just looking to darken it up so no one can see the suctions cups.....viable plan?

    Go for it. If its already tinted just make sure 1 inch of the old tint comes down passed the new tint.
    In NY State you cant tint your windshield but that is considering the whole thing.

    Perfectly Legal.

    The only thing that the law states is you can't tint the entire front
    window.

    It look like you can tint from the top of your windshield all the way down to the AS1 mark on your windshield in Virginia.

    The way I understood the law here (VA), you can not exceed 4" beyond the edge of the windowshield. Nothing can obstruct the view of the driver, IE Scanners, CBs, Tint, etc. I also know that you cannot have anything hanging from the mirror, Necklaces, beads, Flags etc. (like they really enforce that though)

    Every place I have checked all say that the AS1 mark on the windshield is the limit for tint in Virginia. The AS1 mark is about 6" down from the top of my windshield.

    anyone ever heard of a tinter being able to fade it down? Just curious if I should hold out for that or if I should only put a strip wide enough to hide the suction cups.
