Cops generally don't pay attention to SUVs when it comes to tint. You will probably get away with darker front windows in an SUV than a car. |

You can go a little darker on the back windows, and the cops won't mind. Just don't go too dark on the front windows, that's when the red flags are raised!  |
50% isn't very dark but 35% will suffice for most people. As I said, I have 20% all around on my vehicle but we don't have state inspections in Florida...although I wish they did with some of the scary vehicles running around. |

I've read that the state inspection checks for the windshield only. Is it true? Or do they actually check the windows too? I am a VA resident. |

I believe they will check the window tint if they notice it...I could be wrong. |

I have 35% all around. 50% is not worth getting.I moved here in November and still need to get my car inspected. My girlfriend has 35% on her car and she passed inspection. I plan on going to the same place. |

It depends on who is performing the inspection. If they notice it, the will check it. |

I was coming back from diving out at the Lake Rawlings Quarry (Route 58) and a trooper pulled me over and busted out a light meter. Just wanted to check, said it looked dark. My stuff is 100% legal, but it was a wake up call. I wouldn't risk going 35% on the front windows. Even though front windows are different from rear, I never notice it.
