ive got 5% on all windows and 0% on the rear on my truck with an all (converted to black) interior, you can still see in the front windows slightly, but not much. I like the privacy.

Do tint shops remove the interior door panels to install the film?
My biggest concern is broken clips or damaged door panels and is making me think twice about tint now.
Does anyone know if this procedure is needed to tint the 3IS?

I got 35% on mine in MA with no problems. Once completed I noticed scares on the windows, I though it was tinting companying to find that it was this way from the dealer 
. Tints make these scares more noticeable!

Thanks everyone!
Many of your 35's seem dark.
With 35's is it easy to see something laying (paperwork, etc.) on the front or rear seats?
Think I may go with 50's on the sides and 35 on the rear...

This actually does make a difference in the amount you tint the car. Because its low and doesn't offer a lot of light into the car it will make the car darker inside. You can see the difference by standing next to a tinted IS and then get level with the windows the tint starts to lighten up. Plus it's already pre tinted, so it'll be darker than what you're going to put on it. I put 30% on my back windows, but now I wish I had done 40%.
Thanks!

I actually noticed them on the window when I picked up the car and thought it was dirt. I took the car to the shop the very next day and thought they would clean the windows before tinting them. Once the windows were done, I noticed they were still there! Not that noticeable, but they are there!
