I used to love it. I had 5% over 15% on front and rear side windows. I'm still running 5% on the back windows and 35% on the windshield with a 5% brow. I had to pull off the extra 5% on the sides, though. It was ridiculous at night and I couldn't see a thing. I have a difficult time seeing out of my 15% at night. It got old quick, trust me. It looks great on the outside, yeah, but think about it for a while before doing it. I wasted quite a bit of money getting that 5% added on all four side windows just to pull it off a few months later.

ya ive thought of it and seen out of peoples that have 10% and 5% and it seems 5% is the way to go. It might be hard to see out of at night but just gota put up with it i guess.

I hear ya. Just be careful. I'd say roll down your windows at night all the time. If you happen to get unlucky and strike a pedestrian or something else you could be held accountable. Another reason I took mine off. Just looking out for you.

Do you have stock tint already
I have 20% on the brow right now. My sides are tinted at like 50% or even lighter so the tint guy says. My back, he said is most like 20% as well. 5% looks good! I love the look Shanks12 and mblouir has on their trucks. 5% it is.
