I've got 20% on my rear window (35% on the sides). I've been in all conditions you've listed except w/rain (you know how the song goes...it never rains in Southern California, LOL). Anyway, I've experienced no visibility issues.

I have had 20% before. I have 35% now. 20% attracts cops and tint tickets. It is very dark at night. I prefer the 35% much more.

I have 40% on my Z so I'm sorry I can't answer your question BUT I had 20% in all my previous cars (including 350Z) and it's pretty decent. You can still see okay at night. Backing up does get a little tricky at night but I never had any accidents. Did you check this thread: Post Your Window Tints! - Decision guide for the non-tinted!. feel free to ask those who currently has 20% tint on their car. thanks.

Currently I have 35% on the sides and 25% on the rear, these numbers make me legal in Florida. I would not want anything darker.

I was making a joke, tints are always a big change for cars. There's nothing wrong with being excited about it, just teasing you a little while you wait.

some of you guys need to chill out, i am not on your *** about anything, got nothing against you.

Sorry, hard to tell sometimes, my bad!


Tint's done, looks good. 20% is lighter than I thought from the inside...

I have 20% on back and portholes. No problem in any weather day or night. Unless pitch black, no moon and the black car behind me has their lights off.

Sorry, no pics for now - car too dirty. They let the soapy water run all over the car =/

I need to hit it with some detailer spray and clean it off, but I'm just too damn busy
