make sure u check out what it does to your vision at night
i've heard others complain of poor night vision going that dark
i have ceramic tint, 35%, with no ipass or radio issues at all
go with Llumar or Huper Optik and u will not have any reception problems
you will pay more for those brands

The darker the tint doesn't mean it blocks out more heat. You need to look at the Solar Energy Rejection % numbers
I have Formula 1 Pinnacle Series Ceramic 15%, and it keeps the interior waaay cooler than on my other car which has 5% dyed tint

Chrome can be ghetto, but not sure how 5% is ghetto... I have 5% all around and I like the stealth-like look since my car is black/black...but each person has their own opinion.
If you're worried about legal problems, just go with 15%.

I'm not worried about legal problems really. I live near a military base which has cops everywhere and was never pulled over having 5% on my maxima.

Oh oh... Well, I have to admit, 5% at night is quite dark and I have to put down the windows depending where I'm at to make sure I don't clip a curb.
