What I've done with many people's cars that have come to my tint shop is (depending on local laws) you've got too go 30% on the front two windows. This really blows for 2 door owners, but to get around this I usually put limo on their back glass, if they have it of course. Using a darker tint % on the back glass will make the front windows appear darker, but when you hit them with a light meter they'll still read 30%.

Also I recommend getting a metallic or ceramic film. They're all lifetime warranty and wont peel, bubble or fade.

Just my 2.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your input. Ended up installing 35% Llumar UV-protectant tint.

Looks good. I myself am planning on tinting the car in the coming weeks. I'm thinking 15% all around.
