ok i got an 03 silver cobra and i got a hookup on window tinting, heres the deal. i was thinkin of goin 5% on the back window then on the side quarter windows i was thinkin of going 5% as well, however on the car door windows i was thinkin of going 25%, he said he can do all this for $160 is that a good price? and also the guy was talking about shaving my windows so that the whole door windows gets tinted, i don't know exactly what he mean and im not sure if i wanna shave my windows, what do you guys think about that?

No clue what he means by 'shaving the windows'.

5% all around besides the front windows with 25% would look dumb. 25% against 5% would look like it's barely even tinted. You should go with 10-15% if your not worried about any laws or don't have any.

hmm i'll consider that, i'll have to talk to him and see what people get pulled over for. so you think i should keep it close like maybe goin 25% all around or something if the law is strict?

I got pulled over and the cop light meter'd my front windows and it told him they were 35%. I bought the car with the windows already tinted so I'm not sure but I know the back is much darker than the front. I don't think it looks bad, plus the lighter front windows help with seeing at night.

Heres what 35% in front and much much darker in the back looks like....

My friend has 2.5% on in the back of his car and 20% on the front and you cant really even tell its different. 5% and 20% dont have that huge of a difference. I have 35% all around.

I really don't think so. I live in PA and here there is not allowed to be any tint on any of your windows which sucks ass. But I've had some d!ck head cops that hang around your car waiting for it to move so they can get you.

I have 5% all the way around, and yes, there is a VERY noticable difference between 20% and 5%. I suggest getting all your wondows tinted the same% it just looks better that way IMO. And yea, I can't see sh^t at night, but thats what headlights are for!

when spring comes, im getting 20% all the way around and a 4 inch strip of 20% on my front windshield. it will look really sweet i think. my cousin had 5% on his truck and it was impossible to see out of at night.

yea i'll probably do the same tint all the way around, i'm still undecided. cuz 5% looks so good in the back, 25% all the way around sounds good too tho.

Stieny's pictures are misleading because you are seeing the inside of his dark interior and not getting a straight shot through his windows.

It appears that you can see everyone in the interior just fine. I'll post a picture of my GT with 15% shortly.

Quantum Silver is the best. Thats what i got for mine. SO is there a significant difference from 20% and 35%?
