Check homepage, 13% all around. FYI it's not a good idea looking at pics on the internet of tints because the colors are skewed from what you may actually get depending on the angle of the pic, the interior color and the amount of sunlight. Always best to see the tint in real life or at least a sample from the shop.

well, im too embarassed to post a pic of my tint. Like you said in ur post, 2 different tints looks goofy. Mines got like 20% in the back and nothing in the front. I plan on removing it all and getting 20% all around.

You can try to remove the tint urself, it will save you some cash.
www.tintdude.com has info on removing tint.

as far as putting the tint on, leave it to the professionals. like the other guy mentioned, check out the tints at the shop.
Dont go cheap on tint, you get what you pay for. Cheap tint turns purple after a few years.

It also depends on what the tinting laws are in your state. Warren

In Phoenix it's hard to find an area that isn't well lit so long as you're on main roads and I've never had a problem with seeing or from any officers.

I'm sad and jealous. All tint is against the law in NYC. You need a DOT permit for it and it's really hard to get. Altho NYC PD does not crack down hard on it at the end of the month you might find yourself like I did in court with a judge that didn't care. BTW I have a medical reason why I need tint and it's legit. Both of my corneas are scratched and the light killes me. It's noticable if we were face to face and the judge still said " no permit, your guilty" Good luck to the NYCers with tint. The car looks so much hotter with it too!

wow in NY they would sit there and make you rip off the tints in front of them until it has been removed.

NOT a Max but 20% (sig)

I think 20 (or around there) is the way to go. You get the really dark look most of the time, but at night none of the hassle of backing into a garbage can (or worse).

I actually like driving at night with tint so much better than without. It dims the headlights of cars behind and at the sides of intersections and such. I always think people have their brights on when I am driving a non-tinted car at night.
