i will have pics tomorrow. the hatch i did 5% and came out like ass on the corners. i did the doors in 35% and came out amazing but its not dark enough for me. it was free so idc about screwing up lol. im going to get more tomorrow and gunna decide on 20% or 5% for the sides. dunno yet cuz i dont want a ticket so i dont want it too obvious.

you get enough tickets to even think of putting tint on the windows of the doors. Just keep the hatch and thats it.

yeah agreed. I self tinted my driver/passenger windows to 35% and I got pulled over 2x with 1 ticket. But the beauty about self tinting is that it doesn't hurt as much when you take it off. Bad thing is that I did it in the winter so keeping the windows warm was a challenge and I ended up with 2-3 bubbles that wouldn't go away.

i have 20% on the sides. 5 is too dark to drive at night safely. i have 5 on my other camaro and i don't really like it anymore. 5 on the hatch is good though to lessen the headlights at night. i haven't gotten a tint ticket in 4 years. and that one was in exchange for a warning about speeding. it depends on the cop.

Went tinted for 2+ years, never had an issue. Only recently took them off to get inspected.
