Default Window Tint.

I found a place that could tint my back windows for 185$ now I just need to figure out if I want 20% or 5% I want it too look solid black but I also want to be able to see out. Do any of you guys have pictures of these two different tints and/or experience with how well you can see out the back?

20% is as dark as I'd go. I have 30% on my windows and love it. 5% is way too ghetto.

I put 20% on my hatch the first time and found I could not see well enough to tell what car was behind me - as in a state trooper - as I drive I95 everyday and the state troopers tend to come up on me and I guess they are clocking me - who knows. I removed the 20% and put 35% and that is perfect now.

I did it myself so it only cost me the film and my time so @ $185 I guess you better get it right the first time.

Here is a picture.

Mine is 5% I believe. You can't see through the hatch from the outside in the day time. When you have the sunroof off, the glare causes your rear view mirror visibility to be terrible, depending on the lighting and time of day. All in all, it's worth it for me to shield my stuff from the AZ heat, and it looks great. It's not thaaaat dangerous.
