i love it, car is always cool as a cucumber lol. you know everyone says you cant see at night, i do not have that problem. i guess its because i live in miami and its a city so there are lights everywhere, but as long as there are streets lights you will have no problem driving anywhere.

when i had my bmw i had 2% all around and 35% on the front windshield and never had a problem driving at night...

35% back passenger door windows
35% little back windows
20% rear window

The question is...should I tint the little back windows 20% too...or is it going to look strange having 3 shades of tint along the side of the car? The place I'm having it done suggested the 20% on the little windows.

If anyone has this "look" can you post a pic or two?
Do yourself a favor and TINT your windows.

Here's mine I love it.

This is with limo tint in the back (10%) 15 on the back sides and 25 on the front sides.

Don't be afraid to vary it as you go down the side. Mine is DARK. I live in Arkansas/Oklahoma and I've never been asked any questions about the tint by the cops and I've been pulled over roughly 5 times since I did it. I just tend to roll down my windows when I'm pulled over to keep the attention off my windows and on what's inside instead. I'm breaking the laws in both states but the cops here can't afford to have the device to test it anyways. Just ask around before you get it done so you can go as dark as possible without having to worry. The guy at the shop should be able to give you a good idea how dark you can go. But anyways go dark.

I wanted to keep my tint even, so I'm at the legal front window limit here in CO. 27% all the way around including the strip on the windshield.
