Any half decent tint place knows well enough to cut a hole for the third brake light if the tint is dark enough to block it. Only havin 50%, mine's not dark enough to matter

I got pulled over once for speeding one night, it was on the highway and it was pitch black out, I totally forgot to roll all my windows down and the cop mentioned it. Then the other day I was involved in a hit an run, (drunk dude hit my driver side doors) and the cop said jokingly, "Man that's a nasty scratch. That's a really nice looking car, except for the illegal tints" with a big grin on his face, they didn't care too much about it. If it were a ricer I think he'd had me peel it off. I think I'm rolling 5% I'm not sure (bought it like that), it's peeling and the rear is bubbling right now, so I don't care too much if they eventually want me to peel them off.

anything darker than about 35 on the front windows makes it too hard for me to see curbs and stuff at night.

i think the limit in MD is 35 but if you cover up the factory tint then you need to go with 40 to stay above the limit (MD regulations are almost as stupid as CA, almost)

anyone like mirror fade tint on a silver car? like this...

Not a fan of the mirror tint, looks cheezy

in delaware u can have as much tint on the back windows as you want. BUT there is a waiver that a doctor has to sign in order to make it legal on the front windows =] since i have light interior.....i called up a local tint shop and they said they carry 13% tint?!?!? has anyone heard of this?! i think ima go with that.

Mirror tint in my opinion......let's just say you don't want to hear my opinion. Let's just stick with it tends to take away from the looks of the car its on.
