    Where's your's? Or still on the fence? Tint is hard to gauge or see through photos.

    Still on the fence hehe. However, I think I'm pretty much sold on 32-35% all around with the panel under the spoiler blacked out.

    32% for sure.. just kidding as you can't tell the difference really.. 5% maybe but 3? come on? or are you kidding?

    I would def recommend going darker on the hatch glass as I noted. With the angle, the darker tint is not noticeable as I sometimes wish it was darker.

    Blacked out? Why do that? That section is useful.

    Llumar AIR BLUE 80. It is not visible, no pictures required. I even had the full windshield done. I had to find the edge of the tint to verify it was actually installed.

    Did you notice any cooling effects with the AIRBLUE 80? Or is it pretty much to help block the harmful UV rays?

    Llumar Front Windshield Ceramic Clear Air80% (for blocking out UV and heat)
    Llumar Front doors Ceramic CTX40%
    Llumar Rear Doors Ceramic CTX 30% (I wish I would have gotten CTX15%)
    Llumar Rear Windshield Ceramic CTX 30% (I wish I would have gotten CTX15%)

    Sitting in the car, it is pretty bright. From the outside, I can see in pretty well, I should have darken the rear of the car more.

    Nice! I'm thinking of going 35% on all side windows as well. What does the clear airblue 80 look like on the back and front? Do you have a pic? Thanks!

    Air Blue 80 is totally clear, can't tell unless told there is tint on the front and rear, but reduces heat a bit. It's 80% visibility. Even a 50% tint looks clear to me,:).
    The other car has 30% all around, back window is too dark when backing out in poorly lit areas. 2011 Prius L | PriusChat

    Thank God for spell check! :D
    Imagine the type of pictures PC members would be uploading right now if the consonant "n" was omitted in the thread title.
