I did mine and it looks nice. At first I had a 35% but it wasn't dark enough for me so I decided to go to a 20%. You can't easily see in the car now which is nice for privacy (and safety for my wife) and it does keep it cooler in the summer.

Has any one had any issues with front windows? My installer had a very difficult time installing it. He offered to take the doors apart to do it, but I refused. He did an OK job, but I'm still very disappointed. Thinking about having it redone by someone with more experience. Otherwise, love the tint. It's 20%.

I got the darkest that is legal in CO...20% I think. Have had it in last five cars and love it. Found an installer that does a beautiful job for $145, cash.
He's the only one I've seen that can do the back glass, with all it's compound curves, in one piece of film.
He pulls a sheet off the roll lays it on the back glass from the outside and shapes it with a heat gun, then trims it and installs it inside.
He struggled with the front windows too, up front across from the side view windows, but it came out perfect. I usually give him a little extra, he's so cheap anyway.

I had mine tinted also and he didn't have to pull the doors. He mentioned that all of the installers he called pulled the door panels but had issues breaking pins in the door so he felt it was better that he didn't. It took him a while to get it done but in his own words, "It took a great deal of sheer talent and experience to get it done".
