I once had a maxima with limo all around except windshield, it was nice looking but in dark residential areas I would find myself rolling the front door windows to just see out of them, which sucked. Plus the girlfriends hated it too.

Looks amazing, very hard to see through at night sometimes though... the worst is the sides taking some corners in case a pedestrian runs out onto the street.

only pic i have of mine currently uploaded:


dont mind how it looks strange how the lip is black but not the headlights, the headlights are painted this pic is just old

Not sure how it is in Florida, but socal that is a big no no. I have had 15% before and it's still hard to see at night. Can't imagine 5

You may as well paint your windows, 5% is total "Black Out!" How would you ever back out of a parking space or change lanes? Our cars have enough blind spots without creating a whole bunch more.... Not smart!

Roll down the window? Rear View Camera? It's not all that bad... I LoL'd when a cop gave me a ticket & his meter said 2%, then got it dismissed in court, FTW!

Take it easy Gary. Just because you'd have a hard time with it doesnt mean he will. No need to bash the OP for what you believe is the cars shortcomings.

I used to tint all my cars but have since changed paths. I feel like it looks just fine w/o any tint at all. Just my opinion though..

Its funny looking at other people trying to look whos inside the car. I hqve not driven it at night yet. Im waitimg for the tints to completely dry, since every time i open the door the window rools down, making it for the undry tint to get bubles. But from past experinces i had no problems with seeing at night. And those were dark too.

Had 5% all the way around on the previous car (camaro). Going to get 5% on the G this weekend. Backing out in the rain is the worst, cause then you can't lower the windows. Besides that nothing negative.

Forgot to mention. I had the camaro for 4 years and even when I got pulled over no comment about the tint was ever given. I take a roadtrip to texas for 3 days and I got pulled over just for the tint. But I didn't get a ticket since it was an out of state vehicle.

5% all around looks great but I can't see it being practical on the front windows. The darkest I had my fronts was 20%. There's times where I can't see anything out of my rear window(5%) at night. Had to roll down the fronts every now and then to back into parking spots where there's no lights. Doesn't help either that our back-up lights are small as hell.
