I have 5% black on my BMW.....you can't see out at night....
I will be doing 20% black on my Lex here pretty soon....
But 7% is going to be a pain in the *** trust me...it's like when your driving at night on the unlighted freeway and some one is behind you in the distance and you turn your mirror to the dark setting (in cars other then the lex)....it's like that ALL the time at night, even like down town or where ever....but it is Hella cool, no one can see you.....

Don't do it
a1exus,
being from NY also, I'd advise against it. The NY Tint law on Driver/Pass windows is 30% Tint (not 30% Light transmission)..what you are describing is like limo tint 93% tint. You will get busted for it constantly...just ask dieselman63 he's from brooklyn and constantly getting pulled over for his tint. I have 35% (tint) on the front windows and 20% everywhere else and the others make a good point about not being able to see at night with it.

when you replace tints and have to peel it off the back window, does it damage the rear defrosters at all?? the guy that tinted my windows said that you can pretty much expect the lines to come off with your tint and therefore say goodbye to the rear defrosters.
heh
well i finnaly did my tint today
even though that you guys were so against it.. i dont know .. i'm kind of used for dark tint although i got to admit that it is dark, my other lexus had lighter front windows then back windows so it was okay back then..
now i have 6% all around.. i just drove to work .. it's 12am here.. it wasn't that bad, but those streets that not light up nicely it's real dark to see outside too
but other then that it looks fine, fine and one more time ... fine ..
i'm going post some of the pictures later on
