^ if you're driving in a dark area with no street lights or house lights, you wont be able to see out of 20% or darker.. if there are lights you'll be fine with 20%-15%.. 5% is kind of pushing it as to depth perception

if cops are ball busters where you live get 35 all around. i think it makes a DG stay classy looking with still having sport to it and not looking like an 18 year old kid driving the car. solar guard tint will probably look the best, i worked at a shop and have been around just about ever brand. Ill take some pics when i get home from work and show u

I had 20% on mine all the way around.



And I could see out jsut fine. Night time I would have to put the windows down if I had ot back up in an area where there were no street lights. The tail light overlays kinda dimmed down the back up lights.

This is mine with the 35% solargard tint, i dont know how to host pics yet lol

Edit: its also cloudy in the pictures, its also cloudy out today, when its light out u can tell the window is tinted but u can def see in. i personally like the classier look of lighter tint, vs looking G'd out with 20% and darker. just personal preference

I JUST had my car tinted yesterday. 3m Color Stable. 35% front side 2 windows. 20% on rear side and back window. I really didn't want to deal with law or inspection issues so that's why I didn't go 20% all around, but I REALLLLLLY considered it. 20% looks 10000000000x better and isn't really too dark for night.

I'd say, if anything at least go with a good brand tint that rejects a good amount of heat and uv. It makes a world of a difference in the driving experience.
