I'm planning to tint the front door windows of my GX470 so there is a smaller difference in tint compared to rear ones. The MD state allows no less than 35% tint, so I'd like to stay within that limit to avoid getting into any trouble.

I have two questions:
(1) The factory tint on front windows is 70%. What percent tint do I need to add so it doesn't fall below 35%?

(2) I'm considering Performance Tinting located in Columbia, MD. I've seen mixed reviews from people who used them, so I'm not convinced yet. Let me know if there is a unanimous consensus among the area folks on a go-to tint place. I want quality tint that is similar to factory matte finish and not the mirror/shiny stuff.

Thanks.

i was recommended to performance tinting over 4 years ago. i've had 2 cars done there,, i think half of my work has had them do their tint, i know first hand at least 10 people i've sent there from CL/Neloc and i've not ever heard a negative word about their work,, although i thought they acted a little snoody like they were all busy and what not,, most likely because they were all busy and what not. i would recommend going up there and asking them what tint you should get so as not to be illegal. i'm sure they can help you with it.

i seriously need to go up there and and pick up some sort of royalty check or get a coupon for 1 free tint since i've given them so much business if only they knew,, or cared for that matter

Ok, thanks for your feedback. This makes me feel better about going there.

remember 35% over the factory tinted glass is darker then 35, so honestly the only thing that passes state inspection is 50% which is not noticeable, if you want to stay out of trouble either tint your windows 50% or dont get it done. I've been pulled over with 35% and my car has tan interior which looks much lighter then grey or black.

I'm not planning to do 35% over factory tint since that will make it too dark. I think getting 50% may work since that will make it darker than what it is now. Here are some pictures of my car that I posted on another thread
