Smile Oh Yeah!
Get the tint that reflects. It has a silver look to it. I had it and in the day it really reflects like a mirror. People call it Mirror Tint.

God is Good!

what exght. is that? looks nice ...
from personal experience on my previouse LS I did smoked 35% all around includeing the windsheild, it was easy to get used to the ws tinyed after a few days, plus it kept a lot of heat out and sun off my dash, since it gets kinda hot here in So California ... but I think its all about personal prefference since you are going to be the one driveing it everyday

tint definitely, the sun's uv rays are a killer on the dash and leather. imagine how you'd look sunburned after a few hours inn the sun, if the car sees alot of daylight the extra protection is really worth it.

Hmmm...I have always gotten my cars tinted first but I am having a hard time with this one because of the CA law and I have been pulled over with my previous car a few times before.

I like a moderate amount of tint, and that happens to be about what you can usually get away with from a legal standpoint so that's another benefit of not going TOO dark. I don't really care for the overly dark tints and wouldn't use them even if they were legal. Gotta have some tint, though.

haha ^. yah some people just get whatever they want, some get caught, some never do. i have 5% all around the back and then 20% up in front. its nice in cool in there, and saves my face and arms from getting sunburned.

it'll also save your leather and dash in the long run if you park in direct sunlight everyday.
