Do 15% all the way around except the front. Leave the front alon except maybe a banner across the top, but you really need that visibility when driving. The 15% is still illegal likely and dark as hell, so I think that is your best compromise. Might be enough to keep you from getting a ticket also.

IMO, the darker is it the better is looks (most of the time) BUT there are defiently alot of cons with having dark a$$ window tint. Im going w/ 20% when I do mine.

I say do it if your the cops arent too bad. My mother has had 5% on her car for 2 years no problem. I Put it on my car and within a week i was pulled over. Im sure the exhaustt doesnt help but it all depends on your locals. As far as seeing att night, you get used to it. If it is an extremely dark area u can just lower your windows. I say do it. It looks good and you wont regret it.

I had 20 on the back on 30 on the sides of a previous car of mine. The 20 would have been perfect all the way around. Seeing out of it at night was only a slight challenege.

I think it will look good with a black hatch. Mine is black with tinted windows and it looks good because it's all black. Just don't get the louvers.
