Louvers legal? (VA)

[f8lmach]

I was just wondering if anyone knew it louvers are legal or not in VA
i have this teacher who does state inspections and said they are legal as long as you have side mirrors. i just wanted to make sure because i know VA has really strict tint laws.

thanks all

As far as I know they are legal there were thousands of them in NOVA when I lived there. If your teacher does state inspections he would certainly know.

i would assume it might be better for you to see if you can't speak with a police officer and ask him or her about it. I know here in TX our rear windows can be blacked out as long as we have side mirrors. so with that said, i would venture to guess it's find for us to have them as long as they're secured and not going to go flying off.

you could paint your rear window if you wanted too.

That is true, if you have two side view mirrors (one on each side) that give an unobstructed view to the rear.

Louvers are legal

on a convertible, could I potentially get 2.5% tint on the rear window and the backseat windows and then the legal 50% on the front and be legal then?

Va is 50 up front and 35 behind the driver. Exceptions would be work vans (things like that) that you cannot see out of from behind, but have large enough mirrors to compensate for.

A Louver is essentially the same thing as 0% tint.

You can still see in and out with louvers

I would believe that they are perfectly legal, they hardly obstruct your view.
