I had a car a while back that 5% all the way around and at night it was so hard to see. I would not go that dark unless you like not being able to see. I am with you on the legality, but the safety of 5% is bad. Good luck.

Good luck on that and let us know how you like it. Pay special attention when backing up... 8-)

And don't do it early thinking that it is dry enough. You will really screw up the tint if you do that.

I did 20% all the way around and it has to be extremely bright outside to see in the car and even then you can only see shadows.

Looks really nice... But I find even 35% too dark for the sides at night. Nonetheless, looks killer.

thanks! but I do find when driving at night there are times where I have to roll down the window to see where im turning or to see my side mirror to backup. its a pain sometimes but I think its worth it!

i've got the 85 coupe royale with 20% on everything but the windshield. It was pretty good
for me except at night in order to backup in to a parkin lot space i couldnt see if the vehicle was over the lines or not.roll the window down and you all set.you should be fine with the rest.
