Just paint your windows black
IMO really dark sides makes the windshield stick out like a sore thumb!
If you can really get away with anything, then tint your windshield really lightly too... like 35%... that would look good.
My perfect tint... 15% rear 20% sides 35% windshield...

I have 1% all around. It sucks at night, but unless the kids or g/f is in the car, I always have the windows down. if I could do it again I would do 15% on the sides.

if you are gonna break the law you might aswell go all the way. last fbody I tinted got 5% all the way around! looked way bad ***! btw in most states even if your tint is obviously illegal a cop can't pull you over for it because its a secondary offense.

well i settled for 8% and 3% on the back, its quite dark ill post picutres up tomorrow if i have time before work, i love it already though, i appreciate all the input, but i doubt theres much of a noticable difference in between 8% and 5%. i ended up with my buddy doing me a deal i cant pass up anyways, ill be more than likely tinting the windshield too later on once this tint cures for sure.

i got 15% on sides and back, then 20% on the windshield. With the curvature of the windows in our cars the tint looks darker than it really is. You cant see inside my car at all unless sun shine directly in the tops. Now if you want to see out of it at night really good well.....
heres sum pics of my cars same tint % on both you can see a difference.

Thats what I thought too. Until Mr. HighwayPatrolman busted out his wicked cool meter and it showed 1%. Yay tickets! My car is darker than the 5% that is on friends cars for sure.
