got mine done today, 35% on sides and 5% on rear. I think it looks so much better. I love the 5% on the back, wish i could of got the sides darker but didn't want to deal with Texas cops.

Only problem is about 5 seconds after I got in my car after getting it tinted a mute crack head walked up to my window wanting me to read his paper asking for money so i stupidly rolled down my window to give him change!! so much for doing good deeds

don't worry about it, the rubbers on the tc aren't too tight; not like the old school hondas. your tint shouldn't have shifted or peeled

Tinting your windshield is stupid unless you have an eye conditions that makes you sensitive to bright lights.

I like to be able to see out my winshield at night.

yeah. . . that happens. . . especially if they're wearing uniforms and badges. They run pretty good, and it usually takes em awhile before they give up. :-p

From what I understand, the %'s stand for the % of light that gets through. . . 100%=clear, 0%=paint. So 35% is a lot like a pair of medium sunglasses. . . 35% of the light gets through: dark, but not extremely dark.

35 is REALLY dark, and pushing outward visibility. . . it's nearly as dark as limo tint (almost there)!!!! Are you saying 35 is too dark or too light?
