50%... clear. 35%...still too light.

I did 20% all around and think its a perfect balance. Not too dark, not too light.

Here's 30% all around in my 08 sedan. I think 30% is perfect. It may seem a lil bit too light for the guys who like the darker look. But IMO it's just enough to not to draw any unwanted attention from the popos.

Dont be pussssies! 5% ftmfw! I use to have 5% Rear and 20% front and I got a ticket so rocking 35% right now front haha. 5% Rear always looks sexy.

Campbell Film has pretty good pricing for high-quality tint and labor, one of the only places that actually uses a master-tinter haha. We have a team certificate for $25 dollars off for who-ever wants to go there, and they're quotes aren't actually that expensive anyways, they just have variety, from 200-to even 600 + quality and kinds of tints. Just give them a call, it's easier and quicker. Get a normal quote for their regular tint (Still super high-quality stuff) then go in with the certificate. I personally hate those little tint shops that get away with tinting so many peoples car with their cheap shiet, only thing that attracts them all is $$$, i hate cheapasses when it comes to tints, but then again I am with everything

^ +1 for CAMPBELL TINT in HB

This is where I got my 30% WINCOS film which is their high performance line of tint film. Inside their showroom, they have a heat lamp to demonstrate difference in heat rejection of their high-end film compared to conventional film, and the difference is just night and day. I was truly amazed and sold when they gave me a quick demonstration. IMO their prices are definitely not cheap, but you pay the extra premium for the exceptional service and the quality products. The staff there are super friendly, very professional, and very knowledgable when it comes to their products.

I just recently had my roof re-tinted over the factory tint. The factory tint provides absolutely no protection and heat rejection. I enjoy driving with my roof tilted open but on a sunny day, I couldn't keep it open w/o blinding my eyes. Now with darker shade up top, I can enjoy all the sun I want w/o the distraction to my eyes and any unwanted sunburn.

They do windshields.. however, I am not quite sure up to what %.

Don't quote me on this, but I got quoted around $180 for the front windshield w/ their high-end film.

It was obviously too rich for my blood.
