What percent tint do you have?

10% sides and back 35% on entire windshield. I did find that the tint on windshield wouldn't let me use a sticker type SunPass, I had to get the expensive portable one.
Tint on front windows have some scratches from window going up and down... thinking about getting it all replaced with 5%
the tint on the windshield I originally thought would make it harder to see, but it doesn't not even at night, Also I drive west every day after work and it really cuts the glare of the afternoon sun.

I have 20% on mine. That is my prefence for privacy and helping me see better in the sunlight, but I still can see perfectly at night. I would like to get the entire windshield tinted but if I do end up doing it, I'll probably replace the windshield first since it is sandblasted a little and it bugs me. I have 35% on the entire windshield on my Trailblazer and I love it like that.

I prefer 5% on the front, 20 around the rest if they are tinted from factory, if no tint my preference is 5 b/c I dont want anyone to see me. 15 or 20 they can see, and I hate it.

Huber Optik Drei. Don't know what it's % is but it's not very dark. The color matches the OEM blue tint fairly well. It also keeps out most radiant heat which is a nice feature with the Arizona sun.

and I am changing my tint equation... Florida Law says you can't have darker than 35% on sides and back and tint band to VS-1 line on windshield... so that is what I have

Hmm, ok. It's your car after all. I think just about all cars look better with tint. I think it actually makes the car look cleaner because instead of looking inside the car with untinted windows you see the entire car first as a whole.

Fair enough. I spend a lot of time in the whole "euro" scene, and tint there is generally looked down upon. It's all in the eyes of the beholder. For me its especially important I get rid of it since I'm not going for a blacked out look, but a cleaner look. For aggressive looks I definitely understand the use of tint, but just not for me.
