I have 32% Sungard Endurance on the C320 and 35% on the front windows of the ML320, back is factory tinted. In my opinion the best % in terms of visibility at night and heat barrier during the day. If you have dark interior like I do the tint automatically looks darker (closer to 20%) 20% is doable but 5% is really hard to see out of at night. Good luck parallel parking.

Darkest legal limit is 35% in MD all around. No limit on SUV's and Vans on the back but the fronts can't go darker than 35%.

VA is 50% i believe.

I used to tint professionally in MD and in Queens, NY.
