Well it's not an s2k...Sorry, but I have 5% on the sides and two 5%'s on the hatch.

It's way too dark sometimes. I have 20% on my accord, and that's actually perfect IMO. With 5% it's a pain in the *** backing up at night, or seeing out your sides in the rain or night.

In most states 20 is the legal limit for front windows. I personally like 15. Its dark but not too dark.

In the middle of the summer my driver side window went off track and I couldn't put it down. I had to open my door to back up, or pop the hatch. LoL 20% is dark enough were people can't see in clearly and it won't restrict your vision at night. Sometimes I worry that the 5% will be a cause of an accident one day/night for me at night if someone is driving at dusk with their lights not on.

I didn't realize some S2K owners tinted their windows considering the blindspots it has.

yessir! i thought i was the only guy who thought that. I can't imagine tint... im still learning the car's blind spots and while I had 35% on my last car(limit in MA).. im not sure if I wanna tint my next one. I'm in CA now so I coudl do 20%.. but I mean damn .. its so small and dark as it is! any thoughts on this... does the tint ever cause a problem?

Is the 20% dark enough where you can't see in? I have 35% on my truck now and it's too light for me. You can clearly see in as long as you look straight on. At an angle you can't see in but if you look straight on you can see in fine. Especially if you are up close to it. I'm thinking of trying 20%

20 would be fine. You will notice a big difference in darkness from 35.

my s2 has 20% and I never have any problems with seeing at night. my plastic window is stock with no tint. anything darker than 20% might be tough to see at night but im happy with my tint.
