what is the state law %? I would of checked that first. If you withen the limit make sure you keep proof of that in the car so if a cop gives you crap you have documintaion available.

I would like to do mine but the night thing does kind of bother me.

I've got 35% and don't have any problem with night driving. What is your concern?

hes having problems @ 15% and theres alot of morons that try to drive at night with no headlights on and with my luck pull infront of them. Im not really "worried" about it and itsjust not at the top of my list of things to do.

tint % number is not the darkness, its the amount of light transmitted through the tint.(lower # = less light) 15% is darker than 35%, 5% is about the darkest you can find.

I have 10% on mine and have allready gotten a warning for it. Its hard for me to see out if also at night but usually the top is down and the windows are rolled down also.

Got mine done the week after I got her - 35% - when it was first done it looked kick ***- then the edges started to show and the installer told me that's because of the factory dotted edges. Anyone know how to overcome this?

I have 15% but when I got pulled over they gunned it at 8%...not too shabby, and I don't have too much difficulty seeing out them at night. I just have super eyes.

Where do you notice the edges? On the rear window? When I had mine done they removed the trim panel completely assuring complete coverage. I've not noticed any problem with the edges peeling or showing.
