Going to get my windows done in about half an hour...20% all around is what i'm leaning towards.

5% in the rear three windows, and 20% on driver and passenger...Or you can be crazy and go 5% all around!!!!
I did 20% all around, it looks great. I would have done darker, but 20 is still darker than legal in TN, the limit here is 35%....

I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. There's one spot where they didn't get the window totally clean and so it isn't quite right on the hatch, but the guy that did the tint had a family emergency and couldn't stay to redo the tint back there...soooo I'll be going back prob next week to get that part fixed. It's not a bad thing, but I notice it, and unless it's taken care of it will drive me nuts.

5% on the back window only is nice, with 20s on the sides and rear quarters.

Warning this pic is not of my Celica, but shows how nice looking black cars are with 18% platinum tints:

I wouldnt advise you to get this, its extremely difficult to see at night if your driving on a poorly lit road. Luckily in Florida everything it well lit, still hard to see though. I'm sort of waiting until I get that fix-it ticket lol. I've got no idea what % it is...any ideas? All I know is that you cant see into the car at all...

35% all around. Looks darker than it is on black with the black leather interior. Still illegal in Ohio. First mod I did to my car.

what does everyone have? 3m? anyone ever heard of llumar...that's what i had, and i could see fine w/ 15% at night, the tint was amazing. check it out!! (they also make that invisible shield stuff to protect your car against rocks and bugs and stuff!)

i have 5% on all my back ones and like 20% on my driver and passenger side ones....uber black u cant see ****...


my favorite part about it, is if someone gets pissed and gets behind u and gives u the highs...it doesnt effect u lol

(cut someone off, [was either that or cream the guy that stoped short infront of me] so they gave me the highs for like 3 miles....i just laughed)

lol ^ ive been there before. Yea but WH9 yours looks like 5% all around... which looks like it would be incredibly hard to see. I dont know why but it looks like they tented your whole front window too, i could be wrong it could just be cuz the other windows are so dark. I Think it looks pretty good though, i think dark tint adds so much to the sleak look of the car.

wh95te: wow.. that's incredibly dark.. must be limo tint...

i like my 20% tint... when i first bought the car it had something darker... i had it retinted (purpled/ripped) more light gets in during the day which kinda sux.. but i love that i can drive at night now!

No, the entire front window isn't tinted. It just has a THICK black strip across, much larger then the 4" which I think is the legal limit.
good thing you are not in southern california
