I have 20% on the Hatch and 35% on the Driver & Passengers' Windows. I wanted to do 20% all the way around, but here in Cali, that's just easy pickins for a cop to pull you over. I like the fact that I did the side windows all the same. (35%) Too many times I see the Rear Windows super-dark and the Driver & Passengers' way lighter. It interupts the flow of the car IMHO. Anyways, here's some pix.







I have more pix if you need them. I love my tint! BTW-I can see just dandy out my Rear Hatch Window with the 20% at night.

i have 14% on all the windows and sunroof minus the windshield. No problems whatsoever. In fact, when I have an SUV with HIDs on behind me, it helps because it blocks the glare.

tint percentage options are all boofo. None of them arent legit. There is either light, medium, and dark (35,20,5).

I suggest if your going to tint your windows get them tinted medium. Because your tinting your windows for a reason so go dark. There enough to see through during the day and dark enough not to see through at night. And if your gonna tint them dont do different tints on each window. It'll just look dumb. Smooth it all out and let all of them be the same percentage.
