Darker Tints or Leave it as is?

My TL has 30 percent tints on it right now, but I was thinking of going darker. The brown interior makes it look lighter than I would like it to be. I was thinking of going 20 percent. I've heard Maryland police like to harass you if your windows are too dark though. Unsure about it. Thoughts?

tint*

and if you go below Maryland's legal tint limit, then of course you'll get hassled by police
stay at or above the legal limit and you'll be fine on the police front.

However, if you want it darker...that's the risk you're going to take......... fix it tickets or the cool look of darker tint?

^I like my tint to be uniform all around.
BUTT, that's just me.

and you're right, it's something that you'll have to decide on.

Figure out what you like, figure out if you want to mess with police, figure out these things.. do some soul searchin

I live in SF where front tints are illegal. I did 30 in the front and 15 in the back to create the illusion that my front isn't tinted. It's pretty see-through for the front, and I've never ran into any problems with the police... so far. If I could do it again, I'd do 20 all around.

^I really really enjoy a uniformed tint all around. makes it super classy looking.

mismatched tint looks odd, BUTT of course, that's my opinion.
