20% is perfect for a dark interior.. thats just my opinion though

if you do a search you will come up with threads like this that have pics attached.

If no front door tint, then I would go with 5% on the rear window and 20% on the back doors. That will keep you out of trouble. If you had a light interior, I would say 5% for all back 3 windows.

This is an aged old question that people always ask. Do what you want to do and think will look good. Everyone has an opinion and who knows who is right. If I was doing only rear I wouldnt want to have really dark back end and nothing on the front two side doors.

My car is 5% all the way around in blue metallic

Good luck

I have 28% metallic tint.

Heres a few pictures when I had tint all the way around and when my front tint were stripped. But I have it tinted all the way around now. Car doesn't look right if the front windows are not tinted as well.


Fronts tinted.



Without Front tinted.

I had mine tinted to 15% using non-metallic tint. Non-metallic's don't look as dark, but filter extremely well, plus they don't interfer with the radio antenna. Good stuff is a bit more expensive though....
