If I had it to do over again I'd have gotten 20% or so in the back.

I went with Llumar tint with a lifetime warranty and it cost me $230 +tax.

But does 35% give you more privacy? I've seen 35 and you can see the persons face clear as day.

That can come down to quality of tint, I have seen cheap 35% and a very nice quality 35% and there is a level of darkness difference. I run the legal amount in Texas and so does the misses and there is some difference (I spent more on mine than her).

Nope, 35% doesn't give you much additional privacy but it is light enough where night visibility is not adversely affected. That, and the law, were the two most important things I was considering.

So, again, what percentage should it be so visibility out back and to the sides does not become a major issue? I sue the side mirrors a lot.

I paid $300.00 for 15% LLumar Pinnacle ceramic on the rear 3 windows. I have a lifetime warranty, and it's a perfect fit.

I have 35% on doors and 20% on rears and those little side windows. I wanted to be able to see out at night and plus i don't really want the state troopers hounding me for illegal tint.
I paid $150 for Madico tint film with lifetime warranty.

This is about the only car I haven't tinted since I bought cars in the mid 90s when I started driving. Sometimes I want people to see who owns it, I get loads of thumbs up everywhere I go, plus, the girls love to look too

I am married though so that doesn't help much, but it does put a smile on my face. I am however thinking of tinting now because I am putting wheels on...whenever they actually make it here from Japan......and I think the plain glass itself will drive me nuts! So im personally stuck on whether to tint or not and how dark to go? Ive ALWAYS picked 5% all around. Last year was my first year to ever get a ticket for tint in my Honda I own. I was in south florida headed home and a dickhead cop pulled me over and had me outa the car asking about drugs!!!??? the ****?!! I passed him at 72 cause I was just cruising. So now im like hmm do I wana go through that fluke again or just go light colored. The dark does look DAMN sexy though....I love not being seen too! Id love to see more tint %'s in this thread.

anyone know of any vendors that do pre-cut tint for our cars? it should be easy to install since our windows are so tiny on the sides, and the rear glass is near flat and hatch gate opens.

Have you ever installed tint? Cutting it to size is the easy part.
