Im going to the tint shop and im kind of undecided on the shade 5% or 20%. My last cobra had 5% and looked sick but it was black and it was a PITA to see out of at night. Any pics of silver verts with tint??

DD???? No more than 20%.

From a former PROFESSIONAL tinter.

Just to DARK for seeing things at night or in rain at night.

5 is good, my cobra is 5 and my DD is a 5% Tinted Mazda Speed3. I live in a rural place with no street lights and i still have no problems with my tint. Its all good.

20 was good enough for me, plus any darker than that in my area is just asking for a ticket.

35% on the front and 50% on the back windows.. (guess that means blocks 35% on the front and 50% on the back windows) had it done professionaly of course.. not sure if I have any photos of it, but I'll get some tomorrow if you still want photos of a silver Cobra with tint..

My car is not a dd im lucky if i drive it once a week. Im really thinking 5%...

5% is pointless.

I have 12K miles on my car in 5+ years with a 35% wrap(including windshield) and a 20% rear window.

The car comes out about every other weekend over our 5 month 'driving' weather here in the inland NW.

5% is just too dark for normal driving. Recreational or not. Its dangerous and people CAN get hurt.

I was thinking 5% on the rear window and 20% on the side windows. We can't tint windshields in MO. I'll be getting mine done soon too.

I had 5% on my Integra and hated it.
