i have 20% all around, i like the even look rather than different tints on the different windows. get the 5 inch stripe across the windshield and sunroof too if you've got it.

can't roll down the windows for 2 days, the tint's got to cure.

enjoy!

dont use any chemicals to clean your windows, i.e. windex. This is the worst thing to use on windows. You should clean your tint with a special cloth pad for windows. They sell it at your local walmart or Auto zone.

Don't even touch the film once its on...if you see little things that look like bubbles, dont panic because they go away.

Where's Elite?
and how much is it for 5 windows and the windshield stripe?
Metallic or Dye?

*has anyone tinted their side rear view mirrors?
I kinda want the blue mirrors..

EDIT: I got a price quote from Jack's friend for $120 for 5 windows..
and $125 for 5 windows & windshield stripe from California Tint.

Yeah I have 15 and 35 and it really doesn't look bad at all. As long as it's not more than 10% difference then there isnt much contrast.
