Limo, i think 20% had to give the guy cash in the backroom. I have to roll down the windows at night when backing up.

the tinting place that my friends have gone to will do whatever percent you want but if you ask them for 5% they will not give you a receipt for some reason.

+1. The brake lights reflecting off the rear stabilizer bar doesn't really help anything either.

i didn't tint the front...can't imagine driving with it tinted might be too dark

I questioned getting mine tinted at all because I could care less if anyone sees me or what the car looks like, and I like maximum visibility, but the summer temps can reach 110 here and my car is outside a lot so I went ahead and got the maximum legal in my state, 15% on the sides/back. I don't have any problems with it at all and I'm glad I went ahead with it. Just right, if you ask me.

I have 13% all around with front visor strip. Very nice and dark. Was gonna go with the 5% but in dark and rain I didnt wanna be backing into people. I alreadly have to roll my windows down at night so i can see my mirrors when i'm backing up. 13% was a perfect fit.
