Wish I could post a few pix but my photobucket decided it's not gonna work.. When it starts workin again I'll post a few but I've got 20% all the way around. No brow, but was considering one. Have 35% on the front 2 on my ZJ and 2.5% every other window and 2.5% brow. I love the brow in the ZJ and definitely might do one on the Mustang

5% all around. I won't mention the legality. Got the brow. I don't have visors, and the brow REALLY helps.

^Damn dude lovin that 5%. Bet you can't see shit at night backing out of a driveway tho haha

You're right. I always back into my garage, so I don't have to back out the driveway. Middle of the day, still have to roll the windows down. But I love it.

35% all around, wasn't allowed to get a tint strip for the front windsheild :( Wish it was a little darker in the day, but its not dark enough to get pulled over so I'd rather not have a problem with 5 o.

When its not in direct sunlight or at night its nice and dark, next time I get tint its gonna be 35% 2 front sides and 20% in the back. Anyone else have this problem? Its bugging the crap outta me.

Yeah the dot matrix is one thing that bothers me about tint. I have only seen a few cars where they got the dot matrix right. I am thinking about getting a strip of black vinyl and covering the top part of the rear window

30% front is legal here and any darkness on the 1/4 windows and rear window. Here are a few pics of my car. I went 30% windsheild strip, front doors and 15% on 1/4 windows and rear class...

@sleepn- Is it still like that? I can't stand the way it looks.
@330cube- Your so lucky to have 30% tint legally and as dark as you want on the back. Here in New Yawk the legal limit is a whopping 70%
