Toykilla - Mind if I ask who put on that 5%. I'm looking for a decent installer in DFW. Thanks

5% is kind of dangerous at night. 20% is just right.

Not a Z, but you are asking for tint right?

35% highly reflective metallic all around except windshield. Willow (beige) interior. It looks very classy, but I would have liked a little darker. If I had to do it again, I would have gone with 25%. That being said, I have been pulled over 4 times and not once were my illegally tinted windows mentioned.

I have 20 on the sides, if Im backing down a dark driveway or out of a parking spot at night I prefer to open my window to get a better view. the back window on mine is 5% and that for sure would need the window down to see out, I cant see out the back in a dark setting, I can see lights behind me on the road, but not shapes really. the side 20 IMO is just dark enough that you maintain 99% visibility during normal driving, its just backing up where I need more detail. perhaps 35% would be good for all.

I have 35% and I think it's great, especially during night driving. Get the ceramic tint. My 35% blocks approx 98% UV rays whereas a regular tint would block about 75%. Even with my 35%, my car is pretty cool throughout the day.

I have 35% tint and love the way it looks. I had 5% on my Stealth and it was way too dark IMHO.
