sorry but i honestly cannot tell a difference whatsoever. Why didn't you go with a nice, darker color? Is the sun bad in Arkansas? In florida it gets pretty bad, thats why I did 15% all around. I think also that since the first pic is completely in the shade and the second isn't...well...pure sunlight makes the tint not as noticeable so maybe thats it..

What percent did you get? Its really hard to tell much of a difference.

I Agree with tinting as a great visual mod, 5% looks damn sexy on mine.



^Thats just my side window, but looks damn good

5% is overkill IMO, I have 18% all the way around and its just perfect

tint's always a good idea... though I don't agree with the safety of going as dark as 5%...

you do still need to see through the windows at night...

heres some better pics, you can barely see in the car in bright daylight, it in Arkansas legal limit. the fine is $500.00 and they will cut your tint in my county after they right you the ticket.

not sure, all i know is if i go ANY darker, i will get a ticket in the state of arkansas, i had 10% on my cavalier and got a ticket this is 15% from what i can remember

plus i have VERY bad vision (especially at night, so i didnt want to go to dark)

What percentage is that? My black sedan is 20% (see garage), but your right... in sun light it doesn't look that dark.

BTW Nice Car!

it may be illegal to go darking where he is. i know it's illegal in PA where i'm from, or atleast that's what i've been told by the 10 or 15 cops that pulled me over for it and gave me tickets LOL

I just got my side door widows done--35% the second lightest. Since its illegall here I don't want to attract attention. Still nticeable though.

My reason was not appearnace but to cut down on glare from headlight shinning into my mirrors and then into my eyes.

So I can see the diference here
