i would have to stick with him this is a good brand mine has not faded to purple at all the one thing you have to do on to rsx is the back window has defrost---at the top of the window there is a patch of dots use plastic wrap and cover you finger in it(to avoid scratch's) and push against the window to set the tint around the dots---if u don't do this it will eventualy come off

Since you live in CA I'd recommend around 35% tint for the front windows considering that's what looks good but still doesn't direct too much attention towards your car. Oh, and people can actually see you when it rains or when it's dark as opposed to 20% or something. You can get as dark as you want on the back windows though, I'd say 20%-30% would be ideal.

5% All the way around and I hate it. Pain in the *** to back up at night. No tickets yet, but it is just an all around inconvenience. I wouldn't go darker than 20%.
