MD members, tint? Question about tint on your cars...Legal is 35%, but that's not very dark. I might go down to 20%, but what issues have any of you had with the good old Maryland State Troopers. Has it actually gotten you stopped, anyone gotten a ticket for it, and if so, how much. Thanks.

not fast bring's up a good point. sport's car's import's and car's with exhaust will get noticed quickly with tinted wendow's because it draws attention from the cop's suv's truck's and family family car's don't get much attion because they are just that. family car's. that is something to consider when titning your windows. I don't know what ticket's cost were your at but in pa they can ticket you and make you peel the tint. myself personally amd going to tint my car next spring with 5% on both sides and on the rear and 35% on rthe windshield but this isn't legal. I do however have and expemtion for medical reason's but I'm planning on getting stop numerous time's because they don't like the tint and I have exhaust which draws alot of attention.my truck doesn't get any attention though from anyone they just pass it by and don't even look.

had 20%, never had a problem. Eventually got pulled over for spinning tires, the MSP decided to give me a repair order for the tint instead of the spinning tires ticket, so I gladly accepted 
Might eventually get the tint put back on.

So, it might actually get me out of a bigger ticket . Well, I try my best NOT to draw attention to myself. So, it's mainly when yall have been stopped for something else then I take it? With the "repair" ticket, doesn't someone have to check it or is it just a certified inspection station ect that needs to see it's been "repaired?"

yes legal is 35% but a clear window is 1/2% so there for 35 would become about 32/33% causing it to be illegal. but i put 35% on my civic no problems and then i sold it and they passed the tint.
just got 32% on my camaro in looking out is just a lil darker. out looking in durring the day i can tell theres a driver but cant make them out, when there wet or is starting to get dark you cant see in them.
my tint also blocks out 57% of the heat too

sb427 f-bod if your eye doctor is cool you could probly get away with it. I actually have servere migranes that are aggravatted by light and at time's light will cause them. I'm pretty much looking for way's to avoid them more then anything as my med's run 15 buck's a pill and there are time's one doesn't even cut it. I also get them regular as much as once a week at time's and this fall was really bad.
if you can document a problem you would have a easier time getting a exemtion.
