50% sucks. I put it on after getting a $60.00 ticket for 20%. It doesn't even look tinted. People even tell me that I need to tint my windows...then they act all surprised when I tell them they are...a whopping 50%. But, it is better than nothing. If you want pics let me know.

I'm very happy with mine!!! Dark enough to keep some sunlight out and have the "cool" factor. But light enough to keep the cops off my back

The before shot.







The 35% on the side looks dark because that side is in the shade.




The back.




Car is dirty, don't mind that, thanks. They got it dirty when they installed the tint.





I like it so much.
