How long have you gone with illegal tint?

Dropped my car off today and was planning on 50% front and back door/35% rear window. Virginia law is 50% fronts -- 35% rears and back. My car has the wheat interior so the salesman said it would appear lighter and should be OK, so I went 35% all around. Think I'll get pulled just for the tint? How long were you able to run your tint before the law snagged you?

10 years. Every car I go darker and darker, right now I have 15% on my G all the way around. If it didnt rain so much at night in FL I would have gone with 5%. Next car will be 5...

*edit* Dont wanna jinx myself, but no tickets or warnings for tint

i've had my car for 4.5 months, tinted for 4 months, and i haven't been pulled over (knock on wood). i get some looks from cops but i usually drive with them halfway down which helps. i see a cop and i'll casually bring the fronts all the way down.

Just picked up my car.....35% looks SWEET! The owner of the shop said if I have issues to bring it by and he'll replace it w/50% for free. He said all his cars have had 35% with no problem.

I'm just slightly over the limit. Legal limit is 50/35 in VA and I have 35/20. I had it since last summer.

NC law is 35%, Ive had my 20% (or is it 25? cant remember) for 2 years now. I was pulled over and ticketed once, but just called the court clerk and got it dropped easily. willow interior and a sunroof help make it look lighter.

Mine is a little below the legal limit 35%. I have 30% all around and havent had any trouble. Been 2 years 6 months. Wow just typing that I cant believe I picked up my G from infiniti on 9/9/03.. that makes it a little over 2 and a half years. Damn and it still looks brand new
