as to the front windshield, somepalces its illegal.
u should check up on that.
and as for the silver or black, go black
as to what %, i have 5% on the rear (limo tint) and 20% on the sides.

my friends tell me when they drive next to me they can't see no one except a feint outline.

35% is legal percentage here....

just keep in mind the inside being black adds a "darkening" effect to the tint.

^ how come u dind't tint the hardtop, it leaves a little to e desired.

honestly the reflective tint only looks good on silver and some white cars.

i got a hook up, all my wi ndows for 100 dollars

shouldn't be too expensive all the windows are small and limited to 3

This is BLACK, and yes the windshield is tinted 35%, with a limo eyebrow, and the sides are limo (5%) I know a few of you are probably thinking what the hell??? but in AZ, the summers get so so hot, that tint really does help. You an compare my wifes Civic to mine. I can honestly say that I will never tint the windshield again. The visability sucks at dawn and dusk, when it's just dark enough outside when the headlights don't help because it's not dark enough. I am not sure what your goal is. Heat reduction or privacy, but next year, I am going with Huber Optic. It is a ceramic based tint, not metal, and it has a 90% + heat reduction. It is $250 for the two windows, but well worth the cost here in AZ.
