it looks mean but i went a % up after driving two vehicles with 5% all around. i got 2 tickets in 5 years for it but it was just too dark and sucked at night in the rain where its hard enough already. my buddy from miami says they put 5 on, then another layer over that and its pretty much black 
my personal taste, i like the windshield strip with 5%. also lets you keep the sunvisors up and still see traffic lights and crap when you are right under them.

Alex was that like a cut your own tint? 3M?
How big of a roll can you get?

I bought Meguiars Black Magic 6ft roll. One sheet will do a window. We sized it up, trimmed to fit, trimmed some more, fitted it and then trimmed some more.

Maybe 2 pieces, but I don't have the confidence to do a hatch with that amount. You could probably buy a larger roll at Home Depot/Lowes for industrial window tint.

5% FTW... except for at night when you try and make a turn with the windows up. Get ready to guess where the curb is. I never had a problem but keeps you alert LOL.

I wish I got 5% on all my windows. I might get them redone when I come into more money. I had 5% all around on the my white 95 Z and had no problems. I have never gotten pulled over for window tint ever either, knock on wood.

I have 5%... absolutely sucks at night / in the rain / making left hand turns at night (sounds silly but it makes sense once you do it).
BUT.... it looks badass!!!
Good work.

I have 5% on my hatch of the 98, the sides were done 5% but got a ticket for that and the taillights. So once i get it inspected in a week or so the sides will be getting done again.

I have 5% on the SS and wouldnt have it any other way. I dont think night driving is that bad at all except backing up, thats a bitch.
My Xtreme on the other hand has 5% tint on top of the already stock tint that was there. Now THATS dark. Driving around on overcast days or at night i might as well be driving a panel truck with no back windows.... but it sure is bad arse lookin lol

ready to do the iroc next? lol I was thinking of only doing 20% on the sides because with the 5% on the back may be overkill but f-it, 5% all around looks too badass
