photo is from several years ago. 20%.

i've had 5% for quite some time though and if it wasn't for people who drive without headlights, i would have put 2.5 on the back window.

yes, i tint it myself.



i don't have any recent pics.. pity but it's pretty much the same, just blacker and darker.

15% all around:




As for the Dot-matrix at the top of the back window. I asked the guys about applying vinyl and was told that they would do it, but they would run the risk of messing up the antena (in the rear window). Bottom line, I just had them tint it and it turned out great. ill see if I can find some good pics.

the mesh pattern? no. and you can't do anything about it. best option is to go someplace that applies vynyl and have them put a strip in there. i haven't bothered myself but i'll do it at some point.

you can't tint it because tint wont stick and will look all whitish.

see sig, mine is 25% metallic all around ( Johnson Films 25% Titanium). As for the back window I had the dude put vinyl on the dot matrix part. I can't tell the difference from outside, and my FM/AM reception works fine. What I like about my tint is head on it looks like limo tint (can't see into car) but from an angle you can. Which helps keep the police from bothering me too much
btw if you want to see more pics check out my cardomain site.
