I did 15%. Added a windshield tint strip from the place that did my windows. It REALLY cuts down on the sun/heat that enters the car on hot South West days! Pluss it looks great w/ my Red+Black theme.. ... (I took all the rear stickers off too, added VHT taillights, and CF embelems.... and an EVIL INSIDE rear centered sticker on the top)

You tell me... do you think it would look better w/ out it??

I've had 5% on every one of my cars and I'm getting mine done on the T/A next week. Keeps the car way cooler, and you'll get used to the visibility at night after a week or so. Plus, I don't like people peepin' in my windows...I say go for it

I loved my 20% tinted windows. Damn local cops started cracking down, had to strip it. I can't bring myself to pay good money to have 35% put back on, it's not even close to being as nice.

I'm just going to leave mine untinted for now, 'til the heat is off... no matter how much I hate it.
