I personally think it looks terrible and it is dangerous.

I think I might go with 15% in the rear 3 and 30% up front. It seems like a perfect blend.

When you work at a mall that is known to have car break ins and you are the owner of a blackberry, gps, mp3 etc... yes it is dangerous. Anybody can look into my car.

I'm very happy with the 20%, its just dark enough for privacy and to block out light, but its light enough that you can still see at night and also doesnt attract TOO much attention from the police.

Anyone worried about not seeing out at night shouldn't worry. Even with 5% all around you'll be used to it within a week. Plus, if you're that concerned, roll down your window.

i had 5% in the front but i took it off not cuz of the cops, but because my neighborhood doesnt have many bright street lights so I couldn't see. Plus I didn't like having to worry about a cop giving me ****. I drive with the windows down in the summer anyway. so maybe 20% wouldnt be so bad.

you sir are correct...youll get used to it and its really not that dark at night the only problem is backing up...and get you some brighter reverse lights from vleds and youll be good.

35% all around but when i was pulled over the popo said it was 20% with his test kit. i think its a perfect tint being just dark enough to really murder the cobalt and light enough to see (hardly) backing up at night...

That doesn't look like 20 but I could be wrong. I remember my protege being 20 and it was darker.
