well i have 5% all around and it looks cool but sucks for night driving , if i were you ig get 5% in the back first and then decide after that what you want to get for the sides.

If you have a lighter color car, the 15% looks darker. I have 15% on my sides, 5% out back and like camaro guy said, at night it looks great but in the day sometimes i wish it was darker.

I got 5% in the back and 15% on the sides. I get pulled over all the time for it. Also very hard to see out the back at night and with my blackouts over the tails i think it would be easier to back up with my eyes closed. I would go 15% all around at the most if i do it over again.

i live in socal and i have 5% on the back and 15% on the sides, looks good during the day and you cant see through it from the outside at night. i dont usually look back too much, so i dont worry about it. i can see headlights and stuff through it so its ok. the best part is when a lifted truck pulls up behind me, i dont get blinded by the headlights.

i like 20% myself..... anything like 15 or 5 is too dark.... maybe if you have ttops go 15% on the side. I just think its tooo dark and sets cops of on a chase if they notice it.
take a look at this car its my friends gt i thought he was crazy for getting 55% but he got it all the way around and it looks good...alot darker then i thought it would be.
