i did mine 5% all the way around and i love it, although it would be nice to have some 1,000,000 candle power spotlights sometimes wnen backing up at night but all in all its worth the look. and yes, cops love the look too

Its not a big deal, its nice when you get the jack ass with high beams behind you!
And the cops do love the black windows! I've got stopped once, he told the tint looks good! He also said my car was to loud and I should not drive it, as it is too loud for the street! Then it was have a nice day and off I went!

I would go for the black torq thrust to keep that old school feel to it. N maybe a chrome lip to go with the chrome trim n bumbers

I would avoid getting the passenger and driver side window tints. I tinted mine 3 different times and all within a month or two I got pulled over for it and had to remove them. I got tired of putting it on and then having to take it off. It attracts unwanted attention from the cops and gives them a reason to look for more things wrong with your car.
