Looks like everyone has their 3rd brake light covered up (including me). Anybody have it without ? My back window is very dark and it almost renders the brake light useless. I was wondering if a tint shop could cut out that piece cleanly without jacking up the rest of the film. Anybody tried this?

My 3rd brake light is not covered. The dealership arranged for a local shop to do the tint, I just assumed everyone left the brake light uncovered Perhaps it's just a Colorado thing (may be a law)?

Correct - CR40 is the darkest. As noted in the online 3M Crystalline Automotive Window Films Brochure.

I bought the car CPO with the tints the dealer said it was that lol. Whatever it is it is good quality tint because my car stays cool. Cooler than my BMW that also has blk interior with 5% tint.

I got 20% tint all around on mine.

I think it's the perfect blend of providing privacy without being overly dark, especially on a white car.

35% all around will be great, that's what I did but also did 70% windshield.
Not doing windshield is like putting pants on with a big hole on your crotch

Haha I'm exempt from the tint laws I still get pulled over from time to time but I hand them the paperwork and that's that. Most of them don't even know the exemption exists and waste time looking it up. Too bad it isn't listed on the actual registration would save so much time if they could run the plate and see it there.
