    Haha yeah, I like it dark but still want to be able to see out of my front windows at night at least. Whatever percentage I get, it has to all much otherwise it will bug me haha so it's either 15% all around or matching all around.

    That's exactly how I am. Believe me, I can definitely see out of mine, that was a big concern after having that 5%. Most tint shops have strips that they match up by looking through it. You can get an idea by seeing that and taking a look for yourself how the different tint percentages will see through.

    Whatever you decide on I'm interested to see how it turns out

    Okay, cool! :thumbsup:

    There are two tint shops in town. One looks a little iffy and it's doubtful that they'll have the materials to match up tint, but they're cheap. (it's basically just a garage)

    The other one it a bigger building with a two door shop... A little more expensive though...

    Just went on Google and grabbed this street view image:

    What I'm saying is it doesn't matter what the place looks like. This place had 25 reviews on Yelp, 90% of them being 5/5 stars. I'm another one of those 5/5 star reviews. My biggest thing was doing Google/Yelp review searches and see what others have experienced from going through those places.

    The place I went looks like a dump but the customer service (1 man shop) was AWESOME, and his workmanship was evenly matched. He earned my business for future vehicles & recommendation to anyone in the area when it comes up in conversation. Okay now I'm rambling, but you get the idea :eek:

    That works just as well. Keep me, and everyone else updated when you figure out what you're leaning toward once you get more of a solid idea

    My best local place looks like a shit hole as well haha. Single car garage and about 10 spots to park customer cars. But they do amazing work.

    Yeah, the first time I stopped by the hole-in-the wall place they were tinting a late 60's Mustang. So maybe they're reliable if they're trusted with something like that? Haha
    What percentage do you have?

    After looking at what 20% looks like on the inside and out, I think I'm going to just match it with the rear windows as long as they're around 23%.

    All you need to know is what type of bulb your stock one is and match it up. 01-04 should be exactly the same.
