I did 35% for side windows, and 20% for rears. I'm happy, and I can see at night.

5% and rear-view camera!!!

BTW, i have had 5% on every car ive owned and at least in miami it makes the a/c blow cold as hell and yea it is a little rough to see at first but your eyes adjust pretty well after a while....and if you get pulled over tell em you bought the car like that...

i used it twice..i got the ticket one time but i got away with it one time as well...BTW i was leaving a tint shop in s. miami with my buddy we had just picked up his 07 A4 from getting tints and got pulled over and the cop was actually more pissed when my boy said he had just gotten the tints....made us peel the front windows off right in front of him...

I vote 20%, like stated above 5% is a pain in the a$$ at night! But my rearview camera does help with that!

i say go less than 20% man, i regretted not having gotten a darker tint on mine. i had 20 all around except windshield, hard to see only when raining at night.
i know you said you saw a couple of shots already but heres how my car looked...


hope it helps

I have 4% tint all around including the front full face, at night I drive with windows up.

You just have to get used to driving at night with dark tint. I am already used to it and can see pretty good at night.

In the say time you can see crap through the windows.. good for privacy.

hmm its still tough, if anyone has some more pics thatd be fantastic!!

Do you guys think by me going from 20% to 5% ill be more prone to cops?

I mean cause right now i figure if they care theyll pull you over no matter what the front tint is..

i would say so, 5 percent is pretty dark where as 20 percent is dark enough w/out being to dark!
