Thanks guys for your help. Now for my next question, what % do you have on your car? My friend has 20% on the back 3 windows and 35% in the front. He was telling me to get 20% on the back and 35% all around on the side windows. I'm still iffy about the fronts with the cops and stuff so what do you guys think of 35% all around and 50% in the front? I know it's really suttle and you probably won't notice a difference but I think it's still something. I'm going to see if I can get a pic of what 50% looks like so you guys can help me out more. Thanks again!

I went with 35% all around. I think it looks good. Dark enough during the day that people can see in and not to dark at night when there is street light you can see a shadow. But when its completely dark outside you can see anything....

Im happy with the 35%. Also its Regular Tint...

I have 20% all around and it looks great.

IMO, don't even bother getting tints if you are not getting 35% or lower.

i agree completely, i have 5% on the rear window and 20% on all 4 side windows. It's completely worth it, people can't see in at night for the most part, and i have no problem seeing out. Keeps the sun out too. You can't worry about cops when your doing tints, you just gotta go ahead and do it.

15% here, very happy with them specially on sunny days and i still see fine during the night....... i guess with black interior 20% will do, but if u have light 1, i'd say go for 15...

well i dont think they remember names... they might remember a black TL, i recommended my friend with a black audi there too... i really liked their service though.

btw, while youre waiting, you can just go to the dunkin donuts next door and get some food while you wait. or you could bring it back and sit in their boxed lounge--- PS. ask for their tint cleaning bottles because the first time around they forgot to give it to me but gave me one when i went back. my friend got one as well so just ask and im sure theyll give it to you

thats my 38% but i dont recommend going with that since that reflectiveness may block out more UV rays, its still not dark enough to keep the interior warmer.

20% would really help keep the car cool, pple will have a really really hard time seeing inside and it will look great

I'll make sure I ask them for the bottles. I'm going 20% in the back and 35% all around. I think I like that the best. Not too dark, not too light.
