5% tint on white s13 [pics]

i kept the subject nice and specific for searching reasons...

i got 5% on all windows except windshield. it looks great, but is HARD to see at night out of. backing up is almost impossible when there is no light behind you, i need to look out the window/door to do so. its also tough when coming up to stop signs and stuff in dark areas, im afraid im gonna plug someone in a crosswalk. i didn't realize it was gonna be so dark, so if you're considering this, maybe get 15% on front side windows? i am getting used to driving with it at night, it will be easier with time it seems like. other than that i love it. now for before and after pics...

before


after

Just go 5% on rears and quarters and at most 35% on sides. It looks good either way.

that seems a bit extreme, for jersey at least. either way im a vol. firefighter so they let me slide most of the time.


added: the quarters definitely look great in 5%, it looks like it was painted black, really looks sleek.

you should red out your tails and clears in the front... NOW THAT WOULD LOOK HOT.....don't forget the mercedes clear side markers and keep the rear side markers red. I'm just saying i think that would look hot. Just an opinion
