I just looked up the law and its 50% front 2 side, and any % on the rear and 1/4 windows. If your not worried about cops get 20% front sides, and the last 3 with 5%. If your worried about cops then just get 35% fronts and 5% back

50% isn't at all dark. Even 35% is pretty light and doesn't look that great in my opinion. I would go 5% (limo tint) on the back 3 windows, and 20% on the sides. When you see a cop, roll your side windows down.

I just left a tint shop in MD and he has 50% marked as Maryland legal...Anyway, It looked fairly dark to me so I was going to go for it. I don't like the tint that you can't see through at all.
I have louvers on the side windows.
Anyone here have 50% on theirs?

50% is a waist of money. Trust me. I live in VA and the laws are the same. I have 35% all around (which is too light for me) and the cops never bother me.
