TINT!

I didn't read much, but you and your buddy that tints should know that it won't mess up the defroster if you ever wanted to take the tint off. Has something to do with steam.

Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate it. Well, as soon as I make the call that the weather is good enough for the car to come out I will have it done. Now I'll just have to decide on either 5% or 20%.

Go 20%. The ALLL blacked out look doesn't look nearly as good as the barely peaking through look of 20%.

Here's mine with 20% on the sides

Those who don't like constantly getting pulled over and believe it or not, not everyone has the same taste as you or others. BTW, I like tint even though I'm not tinted.
