Well, I spent $140 on some 5% tint today. I couldn't be more pleased! The shop did a great job. I got the front windows, the little triangles, and the hatch done. I'm gonna try to get some pictures up tomorrow. Dang, I'm tooo happy!
This is my first real non-performance oriented mod.

I have to agree (yet again) with this guy

heh...my friends brother had 2.5% on his mirage...he also had about $15k in stereo equipment to hide...it could be sunny as hell out and you still had to roll down the windows to see at times.

Maybe not. I lost the camera > usb cable so it might take more time. I washed the car in 50* weather just for the pictures and now no cable. It looks badass though. I'm proud.

I've had 3% (it's probably actually 2.5%) all around my car for over 2 years now, no cop trouble. I'm switching to 20% (except for the rear quarter windows) just for my own benifit (so I can see in my side windows for auto-x'ing). Lets see those pics Joseph!
Joel, your car inspired me to get the tint done. lol I knew 3% would be a little over kill since I drive alot at nite. 5% isn't as bad as most of you make it out to be. I've actually found the usb cable now, the bama game is over, so I'm probably gonna post up some pics sometime today.
Will (hydrata) saw it yesterday, I think he was impressed. =P

I have 10% all around and 35% on my windshield. I have sat next to a cop several times at a red light without any problems. Then again I live in Arizona and it's sunny as hell over here. I can still see at night with 10%.
