Looks great! Too dark on the insides for my taste, but it looks gorgeous from the outside.

Looks really nice. Good luck at night, though.

I have 15 or 20%, and I have problems at night when it rains.

Yea looks sick man. I had mine limo tinted on my 98 z28 nmb camaro and LOVE it...that is until i got pulled over twice by the same state trooper and give $500 worth of fines for it. I fought it and got the tint removed so they dropped the fines but im still sooooo pissed about it because it looked amazing. Its so hard to see out of at night though, like backing out o my driveway at night i would have to roll down my windows and lean out to see, def worth it though as it looks pimp!
