I recetly got my windows tinted with 5% all around. I HATE driving a fishbowl. It feels like everyone is staring at you. Yeah, its very illegal, but I drive normal and usually have the windows down anyways (half the time). I don't mind getting a fix-it ticket just as long as I don't get a moving violation, because my liscense (and job) can't afford that right now. You'll be happy with 5%.

I was not going to do 50% on the two front windows and 35% on the back three. I was going to do 35% on just the rear windshield to maybe darken up the other four uniformely tinted windows. Take a look at this pic, this is 4 windows tinted 50% with the rear being 35%, this is with a light interior also, this is what I'm in the market for...looks classy imo.

here's another....considering that he has a light interior, the tint will most likely look considerably darker...

Trust me on this. NEVER tint the car unevenly. the windows for the front and side doors MUST have the same tint, because it is very noticeable and the car looks so cheap if it's not the same. 35% is a very slight tint, 50% is pretty much pointless. 35% looks very luxury and classy. If that's what you want, get the 35% all around. DO NOT GET 50 % for the front two windows and 35% for the side 2 and 35% for the back main window. It will look horrible on your car. I had two cars before this which were unevenly tinted and I regreted it both times. GS is definetly not a car to do this on. take my advice.
