I'm still trying to decide this myself...

I was considering going with 20 for the rear window and 35 for the sides. If he'll do it, that is.

He told me he'd do that.

I got 35% on SWP and it honestly looks plentyyyy dark. I was really considering going 20% too. Happy with my decision.

I'm thinking 35 sides, 20 rear. Looking at JWF's website, the heat blockage for both is pretty damn close. And I know my wife would be uncomfortable with 20 all around. But the car seat will be sitting under the rear window so it's getting 20.

Would you mind throwing a picture of your car up? I have SWP as well so it'd be cool to see what 35 looks like.

@Dvipercop Here you go, I'm the first SWP about 3 cars up. This was at the Perrin meet.

Tinting is underway! I decided to go 20% all around. I'd rather have it a little to dark than a little to light. Thanks Darren for setting this up for us.

I'm just going with legal, especially in the rear window since I have the auto-dimming mirror. I notice that the darker the rear window with the autodimming mirror makes it really tough to see at night.

Quick question for anyone really... On the inside of your windows, do you have a rubber strip along the bottom where the glass meets the door? I just got home and noticed there is a gap there but I honestly can't remember if there ever one there in the first place. Pics to follow...

Here's mine just completed with 35%.

Thanks to Darren for setting this up. It turned out great, and I feel better knowing my interior is safer from the sun's damaging rays
