Window tinting in the DMV

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 

Going to get my windows tinted this weekend, was thinking about going with a 20% tint. I reside out in Owings Mills, just wondering what % tint you all have and if below the 35 do you get harrassed that much? Also, if you know of any good quality spots that have good prices let me know. Thanks in advance

I have 20% all around and 40% on the windshield .... Black car with black interior...for me harassment is high as hell ....I rarely drive the car though....They can't ticket me because I have a mva note... (Doctors note ) .... Still a pain in the @$$.... If its your everyday driver I would go legal... Some police aim for it.... D&L window tint in baltimore did mine and did a pretty good job... Kinda expensive though..

you think I would be that bad off with a 30% then? Just trying to go as dark as possible

That might not be so bad.... Depending on the interior color... If its light colored interior you should be fine , if it's dark colored it's going to look and read darker than 30.....Its a gamble ... Some of them cops *** holes when it come to tint...Also depends how the police are in your area...

HP Racing on Crain Hwy in Glen Burnie did my tints. Waited less than 2 hours, prices start at $135. The film they use isn't the type to turn purple either.
Felt sorry for my maid, I gave that girl a raise. She said you got too many Js, I'd be cleaning for days.

I have 20s on mine with black interior. Enough light gets in through the windshield so its not completely blacked out during the day. Never had issues with cops.

I got a ticket for 30% all around with a black interior. I'd say 30-35% should be good.

I have 35% sides 20% back window, grey interior, VA Plates, mostly drive in PG & DC though. Never gotten a ticket for tints.

Next go around i'm getting 20% all the way around, 35% is too light in the summer.
