i have 35% in my front, 15% in my back

remember, the higher % means its less dark.

they say felt will help. i have an 05, tints been on for about 2-3 weeks, still looking good. just be sure that when you get it done, you dont go cheap. look for a good film and a good tinter.

You will need the moleskin just to be safe. About the %, I'd go with the darkerst legal in your state.

Forget what is legal. get 5% on back 3 windows. And if your a man then get 5% in the front windows. Makes the car look really sweet, otherwise get 20-35% in teh front 2 windows. You will need the moleskin. automoleskin.com i think.

when i was getting my car done, 5% seemed way too dark, i like to still be able to see out of my windows, especially since i drive a lot at night. i'm gonna let you know, my front tints are illegal, but i'm willing to risk it. it's basically a $100 fix it ticket but all i have to do is take off the tint and i can put another same shade right back on. generally, when a cop pulls up i roll my windows down so he doesnt see. i have had the sheriff comment on how nice it looks though haha.

25% all around. I don't like the look of mixed tint.. looks cheap. 25% looks darker than it is on these cars.. especially the bacl windows. 5% is asking for a ticket...looks nice... but too much trouble in my opinion for a daily driver.

and, yes,, get the moleskin. I didn't think I would need it.. and now I have scratches. It's really easy to insall... really easy.
