not sure if i can pull off the "i didnt know it was illegal" line...that tends to work with the females more than it does with us guys.

I decided on 20% all the way around. Mostly because of my tan interior. I felt that 35 would be too light. And I don't have any problems seeing through it at night.

I went 32% on the front and 20% on the rears. Honestly, I wish I would have done 20% on the front and 15% on the rears but cops are so bad out here I didnt want to risk getting a ticket.

I've just had mine done and I absolutely hate the section around the dots especially on the rear window. I can see the same thing on some of the pics of you guys cars. Its just paint so why can't it be filed down or removed? What purpose do the dots actually serve??

Does anyone have a sunstrip on the windscreen with the tints? I was thinking about getting one but not sure if it would look good with the 5.
