I have 25% and I absolutely regret it. I can't see shxt at night with the windows up. Especially when I try to go for a spiritual drive at night in the winter, I have to either hope that I don't hide a curb or just roll down the windows and suffer from the cold.

I have 20% and I wish I went with 30-35%. Just got to that point in life where I want to see at night times. The blind spots are bad enough but Im pretty sick of having to roll my windows down in unlit areas to see out the windows.
Maybe Im just gettin old but Its gettin harder to see during the night.

Whatever % you choose to get, Go see Robbie (Driven1) @ fresh designs in college park. You wont regret it!

30 is good if you want some privacy and no cop attention. 2 years of 30% in VA in no stops. 20% will make it look sick though....

I've got 20 on my SB. I like it for looks, but hate it for driveability...

What wheels do you plan on getting? If you're going for black wheels, go dark, if you're going for a lighter wheel, dont go so dark

20% on PPW always!

THREAD JACK:

What about San Marino Blue? I was thinking 35. The color's already dark enough and I don't plan on changing the wheels anytime soon, so 35% seems to be a good compromise. Thoughts?
