Do you have any problems seeing out of it at night? I'm thinking about 5%, but I'm not sure I want to go that dark on my hatch. It'd be great to keep the sun from burning up my interior, but if I can't see, then I'll probably go for a lighter shade.

Man your car looks killer yungn. I'm planning on getting some tint pretty soon as well. And if you don't mind me asking, how much money was it to get it tinted all the way around?

That's 5% tint on my intrepid... it was awesome, I really wish it wasn't illegal because I LOVED the way it looked... yes it was a bit harder to back out at night, especially when raining, but during the daytime it was perfect.

Tint looks awesome! I am fixing to get my car windows tinted before the summer.
Off the subject, in the paper I read a while back where a judge in Georgia ruled that tint laws were unconstitutional. Anybody in Ga know what talking about?

Do you have any more side and rear shots? I'm really considering tints for my Arctic White Z. Up in the air on the percent though. Legal here is 35% which wouldn't even be worth it. I had 20% on my '92 and it looked great, and dark enough that you couldn't see in. Only had it mentioned once in a traffic stop for something else, but no incident. I think the trickier issue is getting a valid inspection sticker.

Thanks for all of the comments guys, I appreciate it! My cam is going in today

Oh and the price was $50.00 for the two sides, and a lifetime warranty! The back was already tinted 5% so I just left that tint on there. The front windshield is not tinted!

Around that "matrix" part, the tint doesnt stick real well on mine either. On a really hot day, I got in there and pressed on it, and tried to get it to stick. It did ok, and got most of the tint to stick. Course, it was ungodly hot that day, hot enough where you couldnt touch the glass for too long.

To take care of the matrix dots, buy a visor and tint over them. =)

i think everybody has problems with the dot matrix. i do. having 5% in the back takes some getting used to. its not too bad, except for backing up. i have a better time at night with it casue i can tell exactly where headlights are.
