    Just a heads up the privacy glass on the back doesn’t stop UV at all. It’s a dye in the glass.

    Had 5% all around in my previous car (a Mini Cooper) definitely had to be more watchful at night occasionally role the windows down thinking of probably doing 10% this time around.

    Tinted windows here. At night, it’s medium hard to see.

    I went with 35% VLT on the doors and it's nearly a perfect match to the factory tint on the quarter windows. I have 50% VLT on the Mustang which gives me great visibility at night, but it's a very light tint and doesn't allow for much privacy. Sometimes it seems like it's not even there.

    I could never do 5% (limo), it's just too dark and attracts the wrong kind of attention.

    Yup. Not looking for UV protection. I just tinted the front 'cause it looks good :)

    I only tinted the front 2 at 20%. The rest is factory. At night it’s not bad. As my eyes are aging though, I think that’s becoming a factor. But, I’ll always tint. Never had a vehicle without.
