    I would have guessed 20% myself, looks a bit darker then my 35% but I was staying legal for my state, otherwise I would have gone darker.

    Looks good!

    Yes it's 20% my total cost was $150. I work for a dealership though, so I had the tint shop we usually use do it for me and they cut me a break on it.

    Looks nice. What color is your interior? My interior is the light color "bisque" (beige). I tinted 30% all around and windshield 60%. I would prefer to go darker but don't want to attract cops in Virginia.

    (The light interior makes the tint look lighter, whereas a car with a black interior would make the tint look darker.)

    Just had my 2011 done. 15% on back sides and hatch, and 35% on front sides. Had it done by a highly rated company, and the owner came to my house which was very convenient for me. All 9 window surfaces, $180. Very happy with the quality and service. IMG_0028.JPG

    Uniforms on the sides makes it look real clean.. I went darker on the rear window due to the angle.. 20% with 35.2% on the sides ;)
    The rear doesn't look darker and blocks more heat.

    In CA it's illegal to have any tint on front windows.

    I checked CA law with regards to tint, it is stated that you should have a visibility of 70% on the front window, meaning up to 30% tint is legal and the back you can have the back painted they don't care at all lol. That is my all my cousins Acura comes from the dealership with tint front driver and passenger window.
