I do like the look of the 20% better. The issue for me is i'm a cop and don't believe in being hypocritical. I know I'm not likely to get a ticket but that's not really the point for me. It does look really light on the bmw, maybe because of the light interior and the bigger area of glass.

Looks nice. I like to be able to see out at night too...

...unlike my '79 Black Trans Am I had in high school with 5% "limo" tint. I had to roll down the windows at night just to back up!

"Ceramic" tint? Can anybody tell me what this is, & how it differs from other window tints? Is it better? Does it last longer without bubbleing. Is it more expensive? I've never heard of it.

If I recall correctly the ceramic provides more UV protection, and a bit of a reflective sheen to the tint even more than normal tints. You can get clear ceramic tint that is just UV protection as well (thinking about it for the front window).

Icandrive - you are indeed correct, as much as I thought the same exact thing myself. /salute and hope I'm not ever in your sights on the road...
