I would go with 5% all around if you live in a well lit area like a big city. If not, go with 15-20%. Only do 35% or lower windshield tint if you have HID's. I would personally go with it regardless assuming you do not have any cracks on your windshield. I'm getting 25-35% on my front windshield for my SC once I get the crack fixed. Make sure to use higher end brands such as 3M or Llumar, and make sure you get a warranty with your tint.

I have 2.5% all around and 35% on the windshield. I want to go darker on the windshield I love when ppl can see what I'm doing in my car, and they cant see stuff to steal. But get hids if you do it makes a big difference.

Anything less than 20% looks just plain ghetto. Sorry

20% or 35% all around (except windshield).

Why you say 35 or darker? thats pretty damn dark, just want to know if its doable cause I wouldent be able to see anything, dont have HIDs yet and drive alot at night, but only really care about making it look badass and then ill adjust to my car, but might still go with 50/20

I will be getting my 00 ES300 tinted possibly tomorrow and will post pics asap. My tinter only uses the Llumar brand film which he claims is the best out there. I will be using 35% for my ES. Expect pictures possibly tomorrow.

I have 35% Llumar on my car and it's great! Had it for a little over a year now and no signs of fading or bubbling.

35% is has good visibility but it would look a lot nicer with 20%. As for the windshield, I would recommend only 50% at the most for visibility.
