"A 2 Z" that's really dark, especially for MD. A fix-it ticket is just a matter of time for you
Here is what 35% 3M tint all around looks like on mine. Can perfectly see at night all the while being ninja shadow to others; still hang back when I see the police cruisers... precautionary step.

in the process of getting some "eye doctor" papers saying that i need the dark tint for my eyes.

haha that "eye doctor" papers idea is not bad and will be awesome if you manage to get it. I'm shocked you got a warning citation, the officer had to be in a really good mood

Thx, roof was professionally painted. Give a call to Frank@ Wilson Autobody in Baltimore - pricey but you WILL be guaranteed satisfaction once you see the end result.

Helps block the sun glare quite well.

Anyway enjoy!

That still doesn't stop you from getting pulled over.
Not worth the hassle IMNSHO. You're just asking to get pulled over with something that dark. You've already stopped at least once, right?
The eye doctor papers won't mean squat if you're on your way home from the bar. The cop walking up to your car is already on edge because he can't see inside.
