Show me your windows!

Hey guys! I'm in the market to get my windows tinted, but can't decide where and how dark. I did a forum search and found some pretty helpful info, but I wanted to see if anyone had some pictures of their windows and the different percentages. I'm leaning toward 15-20% right now. What do you guys recommend? And is Unlimited Audio the best place in Calhoun County?

I was waiting for one of our fine LEO'S to chime in.. but I would have to agree with him legal tint is dark enough if you tent all the windows.. just my 2 cents. Steven

Is the 5% hard to see out of at night?

It's hard to judge purely off of pictures since differences in lighting can make it look darker or lighter than normal.

I've got legal tint on all of my windows except the back (which has 20%). It's not much lighter than my previous 20% all around... and it will check out legally by the LEO as long as he doesn't check the back window.
