You could probably find craploads of pictures very easily if you did a search.

Pics are not really going to give you what you are looking for. Lighting in the pics will effect everything and not give you a good reference. The best way would be to see the tint in person.

I have tint on my Z of 35% on the sides, and 20% in the back. The 20% in the back is honestly almost too dark at night IMO. I have had other cars that I have had 20% all way around, and others that I had 35% all way round. The 35% seems to be good at night, but in the winter where theres a lot of glare from snow and ice, or on really sunny days, 20% is better in the daytime, at least for me. You need to check out some cars for yourself, and see what you like.

I've got 17 on the sides and 5 on the rear. the back is hard to see out of at night, the sides take some getting used to though.

Search some of my threads. I have posted plenty of pics and video and I have 15% all the way around. Just letting you know because the pics and vids were all taken in different lighting so you have a better idea.

I cant speak for everyone but that back window at the very top there are textured bumps that the tint wont stick to. I gave my tint guy hell for it till I saw a few other F bodys that had the same problem. So just before the bumps have him cut a kinda half circle off it will look alot better than tryin to tint over them bumps.

The cost is generally the same wheather you get dark tint or light tint. Probably somewhere in the $150-$200 range on an F-body. 5% is the darkest I have heard of or seen. Sure, its limo tint, but it really sucks when you are trying to see through the window at night.
