I am no expert on tinting, but watch your state laws. Some locations get pretty cranky if u make the front side windows too dark. It also gives a cops an excuse to stop you and break your shoes.

I just did mine, all 4 windows and the tops, Costs about 240 bucks. I went 5% on the tops and hatch, and the strip across the top windshield. Then 20% on the side windows. As i sit now, im illegal. I live in missouri. But 99% of the time the cops wont pull you over JUST for the windows. But if they get you for speeding or a light or anything else, you can bet your *** they will tac that on, its about another 100 bucks in your fine... a friend of mine got caught. The 5% is something to the effect of how well you can see into the car. 0% being pretty much a vinal and the higher the percent, the easier it is to see in. It goes in 5% intervals. Personally, i wish i woulda gone 5% all around, looks freakin sweet on a red car, but my setup looks alright.

yup. side note, they might put a piece of black vinal on the outside of your rear hatch to cover the defrost.
