For clarification:

5% on the rear windows only. Not on the doors. The doors will have 35%, which is "technically" not legal in Cali, but I see that and darker ALL the time with no repercussions so I'm not worried.

Also, my eyes are EXTREMELY light sensitive. To the point that when it's night and I've got headlights blaring in the back window, it blinds me. My sunglasses are the darkest you can get without being legally blind, and they are still too light causing me to squint in bright light. So blocking as much light as possible is in my opinion worth the cost of me having to be a tad more vigilant at night while driving.

My only worry is that having the cut out will look silly, but at the same time I don't want to attract more attention than is necessary.
