I have 5% all the way around. Sorry for the crappy pics. I don't like it too dark. If i were you I would just stay 35%

50% looks nice on white cars.I'm not a big fan of dark tint.You can't see out it very well at night especialy when it's raining.Personaly i think cars look better when you can still see inside a little.Another thing you may want to look into is the platinum tint.My g/f tinted her white 99 civic ex with it and it looks sweet.Hope that helps a little.

35% is the darkest I will go. I had that on my 98 and it was just right for me.

agree. also the normal black tint absorbs too much heat. i'm staying clear with my new ride this time.

35% is still too dark for me at night. Platinum is reflective but not like mirror tint. Platinum makes your whole window look silver and light grey. Mirror tint reflects light dependent on the angle you are looking at it and the rest of the tint appears black. Platinum looks really nice on silver and white cars.

Older pic, 20% all around on a black hatch. I love it. The visibility at night isn't bad enough that I wish I didn't have the tint, but its annoying sometimes. It doesn't affect my driving at all, I got it because I have NO A/C/.....

I didn't think it was to dark at night. i guess everyone has different opinions though.

imho, unless you're just trying to get some tint in your ride, the only good looking cars with tint are nearly blacked out... go illegal or don't go at all.
