I couldn't be happier. It's the silver Si with Navi. It was ridiculously hard to get it in that color with the navi, but I finally got it. Im getting the tint sometime this weekend. My silver GT vert had the platinum mirror tint, Im not sure if I should get that again. Whats a good percentage to get on the car if Im going with black tint, how about the front windshield? PS: Im not getting rid of my mustang

I usually get 30% on my sides and windsheild. It is still light enough where it doesn't look blacked out from outside during the day, but yet pretty dark at night.

mirror tint is ridiculously tacky IMO, and i'm sure most will agree.
i too would go with 5% all around 'cept windshield, or at least 5% in the rear and 20% on the doors with a 5% strip across the windshield.

Note to self: No front windshield. %20 all around sounds about right. I just got a quote for $280, for a civic honda that seems pretty steep. Whats a good affodable place to get this done at, preferably in the peninsula?

I wouldn't tint the windshield or the drivers and passenger side front windows. You will be constantly harrassed by cops and will eventually get a fix it ticket. This is based on my personal experience

good choice. 20% is the way to go...not too dark, not too light...jus right. i got my stang done for $260 out here in tracy. lifetime warranty on the tint as well. so $280 isnt too bad these days.

I have 20% all around and 50% for the windshield on my '94 GT. I think it looks great and I haven't had any trouble with the police for the past 3 years I've had the tint. But when I had 5% put on my daily driver, I got pulled over within 5% of leaving the tint shop and got pulled over again on my way back to the shop lol. Luckily, I got a warning both times. Being a window tinter myself, I would NOT reccommend putting 5% on the two front windows because it is way too dark and not safe, especially when driving at night. I think 20% is perfect because it's not too light or too dark. But that's just my opinion. By the way, if anyone wants a hook up on window tinting just PM me.

Do you have any pics of the 50% on the windsheild? I know I'm going to do 5% on the back 3, 15% on the doors, and I'm debating doing 50% on the windsheild or not. My stepdad has 50% on the front 2 doors on his car and it's barely noticeable, but enough to look a tiny darker at night (like in the dark, parked... hah)
