Looks great on a white car, i personally however do not like when you can see the light colored interior from the rear windshield. I did %5 on the rear, %15 on the rear side, and %35 on the front. I think it's a perfect combo!

^^ actually i might have to take it off soon the only reason its there is to cover up this little ding in the body. i parked at the mall one day and i only noticed the next day that there were these little indents in the body, took it to get an estimate on how much it cost ($300 somthing just for a small ding + paint!) and the guy told me it was probably from somebody who dosent know how to park and the license plate frame bumped into me -___-

I'm surprised that you can get away with front window tints. Here in FL you wont make it a day.

I think its crazy to get a ticket while being on your cell. We have a no text while driving law in GA, but you can still talk on your phone. How does that work with the bluetooth action?

^^in HI if you have a bluetooth wireless headset you wont get a ticket but if you have a headset that's wired you'll get a ticket. basiclly if you touch your phone while the car is in motion you'll get a ticket. iv heard alot of cases in court where the guy had a wired headset and got a ticket.

When I used to commute to school, I usually had close calls to being hit by women driving SUVs on a daily basis. Whenever I look at the driver, they're on a cell phone. Cell phones are a distraction to the driver. I know I would be a really bad driver if I were on a cell phone without bluetooth. Even with bluetooth, I try to minimize its use because I tend to focus on the audio instead of the visual.

By the way, driving while using a cell phone without bluetooth is very common...even today. I see huge stacks of tickets for them every other day. It makes you wonder how you ever make it to your destinations without getting into a fender bender.

Could you post some pictures from the side on an average sunny day (in HI that should be like almost everyday? hahah). I'm trying to figure out if I want 20 or 35. My buddy has 20 on his IS and it looks good but might be too dark for me...
