I have 5%(limo) on all the windows except windshield. Have had it for almost 3years now. I originally had 20% all the way around for 1year, and then went to 5%. Their is a big difference between 20% and 5%.... it's real nice in my opinion. my 2door 99 accord is white exterior, and tan interior. I'd love to tint the whole windshield 50-70% but I'd be concerned with getting pulled over then.. and also not passing inspection... Houston TX is hot so I am glad the police are not concerned with it as long as I drive appropriately.

:dunno: I myself don't like the mirror films too much, if I want to look at myself, I'll go check myself out in the bathroom mirror. The colored stuff looks aight as long as your car is the same color. My car is gonna get painted here pretty soon, it's gonna be graphite grey pearl, so I was thinking a nice smoked look on the windows would make it look very clean, im really giving some thought into getting metallic tint, again, I think it'll look real clean on the color.

damn, 35% looks pretty dark, I don't want to go that dark, I want a nice, classy smoked look, I think it'll complement graphite grey pearl nicely.

hmm, never seem that dark. It really varies in lighting conditions. In the pics I posted, it really does look darker than normal. But think about it, a nice clean 35% tint on your graphite Accord. That will look mint :thumbup:
