I drive with the windows down most of the time as well... if my driver window worked

thanks for the info and suggestions guys, as for the glass I may talk to my insurance about it, I do all my work myself so Im not wanting to leave it with some yahoos or buy used glass. It seems like they're really really bad pits, EVERYWHERE and theres millions of them on ALL the glass. almost as if it needs to be filled in everywhere.

Mine is 25ish on the rear and 30-33ish on the sides.. Don't know exactly because I bought the car like that was told from a tint shop.. I think 5% looks tacky.. Especially on a pewter car..

5%




honestly if youve never ran with 5% before be very very careful at night. the first car i ever had 5% on was my Swapped 94. and it had manual windows so i caught myself quite often leaning over the center console and **** to roll the window down. but honestly i wont do anything other then 5% on the sides and back. i wanna throw atleast 30% maybe 20% on the windshield but thatll be once i make the car just a weekend warrior.
