Getting Tint for my cars 1 month anniversery

Well I decided to give my car a little present for making it through the first month of owning it. Bought it on the 15th of May with 19.8k miles on it and have already put almost 2000 miles on it.

Love the car...way better than my first car-2003 Pontiac Grand Am



Im still undecided on what % tint to get. I was thinking 35% in the front and 20% in the rear. Legal is 50(F) and 35(R)

Even during the winter's your window's are down? I am assuming you have a winter beater.

Just got the car a month ago... And the car is getting stored when Im gone at Basic and AIT....which I leave for basic on the 28th of this month


Just got home with it and I love how it looks. Its got alot of streaking...like they said it would. Cant really tell the difference from the outside. Thinking I should have put something on the windshield--kinda looks out of place from inside.
