Everything is tinted except for my windshield. Limo for the rear three and sunroof... 35% for the front two.

Yes, it's illegal to tint your windshield.

I went with 37.5% metallic tint on the sides and 35% smoke tint on the rear. The tint place told me that it's actually lower with the added stock window tint. They said I could actually test lower than the Maryland legal 35%.

I have all of my windows tinted with Llumar 35%. It's light enough to see out at night.

I don't know about llumar, but mine is fine at night. It took me a couple of days to get used to the darkness of my windows though. Now I don't even notice.

I think I have 15%, maybe 20%. It came from the dealer like that. (Demo car) No tint on the front or the sunroof. Why anyone would tint the front is beyond me and my sunroof is nearly always open. I open it up to -10 celcius ~+- 15 farenheit, blast the heat, but it's soo much fun.

Since it's white car the tint looks darker than it is.

The Max needs a ragtop version

NYS, 70% is the legal limit on the front windows, and i don't think there's a limit on the back..

I have limo tint on back windshield, back mirros and the strip on the front windshield and 35% on teh front windos. The front is dark but you can see through it, so cops should not bother me.

I have 35% chrome tint all the way around (except windshield of course). I wish mine were darker, unless there is a cute girl next to me in traffic, then I wish I had no tint so she could see me wink at her.

In Maryland....

In Maryland the legal limit is 35% on all the windows in your car including the back windows.

I however tinted front, back and rear window to about a 20% black graphite tint. The sunroof has 3% limo tint. AND I tinted my windshield even though it is illegal, but I did that at only 50% smoke. Just enough to keep out the harsh sunrays

It is nice as ****, dont really care about getting pulled and having to pull it off, my friend owns the tint shop and no big deal to go back and put it back on. The hell with the tint laws.

THE LAWS

Hi all,

When I was thinking of tinting mine, I found these sites.

http://www.supertint.com/IWFA_Tintlaws_USA.htm

http://www.pcisys.net/~bpc/auto_law/tint/

The second one has clickable State 'titles' that will give you a very detailed description of the state law in question. Both sites are good for the "short version" too.

Mine is the front two is 35% and both rear and window is 20%. The tint in the sunroof is courtesy of 'stick on tint' by WalMart.

The hell with the laws about tinting. A cop will not pull you over just because of your tint, he will however pull you over if it is black like a limo, but not something that is 20%.
