Any of you with your car tinted in VA have issues with this? I am inclined to think they just didnt realize that the 3rd brake light could be easily removed. Either way I think I'm going to have them redo it.
When I was originally shopping around for tints, I ran into some shops that said they would do this, but upon being asked if they could cover the 3rd brake light anyway, none of them objected. 50 front/35 rear here.

I can safely say I've had no issues with tint covering my brake light, since it shines through all the same. I haven't even gotten bothered for running without a front tag... *knocks on wood*
