IMO 5% is too dark all around. Mine is 5% just on the side windows and its hard to see out of them at night.

I have 5% all around on mine and I see fine out of them. I do on occasion have to roll them down to see out of the side mirrors but for the most part it does not bother me. It is what you are used of. I have had super dark tint on all my rides.

Thanks, my daily is a Malibu Maxx and it has 5% on the front and limo on the back. It really is what you can get used of driving. It is harder at night to see but I am used of it. My husband on the other hand has a hard time seeing out of them and won't drive it at night.

I don't get messed with in my daily driver I think because I have a sun roof that I open and it helps let enough light in. Other wise my habit is if I see a cop all windows go down.

That is pretty cool. My husband actually wanted to do that to his truck.

I wasn't calling you stupid, I was just saying my DD also has 5% on the side windows and back glass. Thank goodness I don't have to fool with inspections

just tint the windshield! it darkens everything up! my camaro is 5% on the hatch, 15% on the sides and then 35% on the windshield, my daily driver '07 Ram has 15% all around with 35% platinum on the windshield, unfortionatly my camera took a **** so i don't have any pictures of my ram, but it looks nice with a "silver/mirror'ish" tint on the windshield because the truck is pewter, the camaro i went with all black to go with the rest of the car...

Thank you very much! that was a few pictures from last winter when it was still in one piece and just a head/cam car, it's sad to say that right now it's ripped into a million pieces with the turbo kit in my garage, motor/trans at my buddy's shop, interior ripped out and the car is getting a few things finished up before sent to get the engine bay repainted. nothing is all that "fancy" on it, but i try to keep things clean and simple
