The above pictures are look good. I just had mine done.
The job on my windows offers alot of privacy in the rear. I dont need a cargo cover now.You can not see a thing. My back window looks great however it is so dark I will probly never have to flip the dim lever on my rear veiw mirror again. I live in washington state which requires passenger windows not to exceed 30%. Look up you stat laws or go to a reputable place. send me a private messege with your email and I will send you a picture of my tint job. I also will include the specs on each window. I have three different tints that blend in smoothly. Good luck

the dealer had a black one they tried to sell me for a cheaper price, now looking at yours.. i wish i had taken that deal ! :P

as for annie's white tint, it was done at the dealership and just the rear ones, unsure of the % on it, looks really sweet tho ! hopefully mine will turn out as nice as her's

I used 15% all around and a 5% section at the top of the windshield. Where I am it is technically illegal. Here are my pics.

I got 22% on the back 5. I think later I'll add some 33s on the drivers. In CA it's illegal to do the drivers windows but apparently it's not enforced so much (so my tint guy says). And that's Ziggy driving.
