Heres the only good shots I was able to get since the sun was glaring down on my car at the time I took them. I have 50% on the front two and 5% on the back three. I think the 50% is perfect for the fron windows.

^ word, 35% all the way around is perfect. You want all the windows to have the same look and during the day its hard to tell you even have tint, but at night it gets really dark.

35% is too light...go for 15% all round

now that i think of it, depends on your state laws... here in MI you are not allowed to have ANY tint on the front windows. So i would say 35% is perfect for here in MI but that 15% does look good

Actually my 15% isn't exactly "legal" in Ohio, but so far, so good *crosses fingers*

I tint windows for a living, Id say 15% for a personal vehicle but grandma only needs 30-35%

5%on top of 20% if pointless in my openinon, that would end up being less than 1% and nearly INPOSSIBLE to drive. The overall appearance would be no different than a layer of 5% but each to his own

I can see perfectly fine out of it. I had 20% first then i went and got 5% and i didn't want to pay to get the 20% off so i keep it on. I dont' have problems seeing out of it

I have 35% tint, but it's platinum. So it all depends on the angle at which you look at the car and the lighting conditions as to how "transparent" or "reflective" the tint is. Here's two pics for example.





I have all kinds of pics at cardomain if you want to see more (just click Primered Z24 in my sig).

I have 20% all the way around on mine. If your worried about the law then I can't help you but i've come to find out 15% looks real nice too.



Its your call but I think you should always get same % all the way around, making the front lighter takes away from the whole look in my opinion

Well im getting 38%, which is legal with the old NYS law. And since my car is 2000 i can get away with it, since the car used to have tint before i bought the car. Legal in NYS is now 75%, which sux.

Maybe you need to read up on New York State law. Legal tint is 70% in NY. PLUS, you have to abide by the CURRENT laws. Just cause you car is a 2000 doesn't mean that you can get away with tint that may have been legal 6 years ago.
