Re: Rear Window tint
Here you can go 35% on the front doors and as dark as you want in the rear. Check your state/provincial/municipal laws.

Re: Rear Window tint
go 5 on the rear. I have 5 over the factory "tint" and its very manageable. Its great not having to worry about high beams behind you. Youll just want to invest in some aux reverse lights if you dont like backing up with the side windows down.

Re: Rear Window tint
i got 20% all around with 5% tint strip. I wish that the back window was a little darker for the high beams and people (maybe) watching me. but i like all the windows being the same shade.

Re: Rear Window tint
How hard is it to see out of the 20% at night?
