Default Tints on my SS

Hey guys i was calling around at some places to see how much it would cost to get my windows tinted. Well i found the place im going to go with but i have some questions. I was thinking of going with 5% all the way around, cause i think it will look sick on a black car. The plac quoted me at $200 to do the 2 doors and the hatch, and thats with tax and everything. Plus it has a lifetime warranty. The guy was telling me if it was him he would go with there next step up above limo which is 20%, but i dont know if i wanna do that, ive had my sights set on limo since i got the car, i was just seeing what everyones opinion is, and if possible if i can get some pics of both percents and see what looks better (which i know limo tint will look 10X better)

I have 15% on my Z and it looks perfect. Cost about 100 bucks. If it's too dark, roll down your window >=)

I have 5% all around and love it. The only bad thing is when you have to back up at night and that sort of thing. $200 isn't a bad price, especially with the warranty.

I had mirriors tints on my silver SS, look so good, but the cops didn't agree with me!!! I had to take my tints off, but in doing so, the removers told me that the people who put my tints in used the wrong adhesive and if I wanted the rear window tint removed, I would lose my defoggers too. So now I am only tinted in the rear, still looks good, but man what a waste!!!

35% all the way around - plenty dark and you can still make out details of cop cars.

I' ve got 5% sides and back, it does look really good. The cops don' t agree, they provided my wife with a "note" telling her to pay $145 the parrish. It' s also hard to get an inspection sticker. I' ll try to get you some pics of the Z in the next day or too.
