I got 15% in the rear and 20% in the front to keep things pretty level. I have no problem seeing at night and it looks very dark from the outside.

I just bought my Camaro a few months ago and just got the windows tinted on Wednesday. I got 30% and I think it looks awesome. It's dark enough to where you cant see through too much but light enough to where you probably wont get pulled over. I'm in WI and the legal limit is 50%. My previous car was a blue Cavalier and I had 15% on it which I got pulled over with and got a $250 fine.... To the guy who says $218 isn't bad, I would look around.. I got my whole car done for $100, and another place I went to told me $140.

-Another thing to think about. If your rear window has the little black spots (i think for rear defrost) at the top of the window, those cause big air pockets and it looks worse and worse the darker the tint is. The lighter the tint, the less noticable the air pockets will be.

the idea about putting a decal in the back window so that it doesnt look as dark worked for me. i got some cool decals from www.graphxonline.com and stuck them on the back glass. i'd like to think thats what has kept me from getting pulled over, considering i have 5% all the way around. otherwise the cops are really slackin :]]

I was considering doing only the hatch glass, but that might look off.

my rear and front windshield are both at 5%, then my side windows are 20%. It looks alright, but if i could do it again, id get 15% or less on the sides. My camaro is also red, and i have put a set of blackouts on the taillights, i personally think it looks really nice. But i also put the chevy bowtie on the hatch glass as well.
