In this pic the front's look lighter, but is just the way the photo was taken, cause is the same percentage all around.

Just for a comparison, my windows are 17%

That's pretty direct sunlight. I wouldn't go any darker.... or lighter. My last car had 35% front and 15% rear. I think 17% is the way to go.

Yours is only blocking 17% correct, cause you can barely tell it has any, not my cup of tea is just not worth it going that light, mine is only letting 10% of light in which I do agree is a bit extreme, but I gotten used to it.

Go big or go home! Get'em so black that you block out the MOON lol j/k. Tint is always an ify subject, some people get more attention from the red & blue's and some don't get any at all. I say go with what you feel is functional for you or esthetically pleasing just don't send out signs that say look at me a little closer to the cops.

Funny story I had a friend that had all five windows limo tinted on an all black Cavalier(don't ask cause I don't even know why) but no surprised he apparently had a lot of attention. So lesson here is just don't go extreme, enjoy.

Um, no. It's letting in 17% that's why I posted that photo. It has heavy light coming in the windows so that you can see it's transparency in sunlight. That's how you tell it'd good metallic tint and not some cheap black paper.

^Demon where the hell have you been?? Three members that I haven't seen/talked to in months are reappearing?! It's this nice spring weather isn't it

I'm pretty sure from all the feedback I won't be inviting any unwanted attention from the 5-0. Might pick up the stuff tomorrow.

Oh really couldn't tell from the picture, and mine is metalized film as well that is why my radar detector doesn't work in the car that well , I think you can tell in my picture how the fronts look when sunlight comes in.
