Okay well I'm getting tint on all the windows but the front, and I was wondering how dark I should go? The GTP is that gray/silver color, and my overlays are all red. I'm also thinking about getting the headlight blackouts. Ooo and its a coupe....soo what do you guys think?

I went with 35% all around. Looks great on my dark green coupe.

IMO, 35% will be legal, but not nearly dark enough. Im wishing I woulda gone 15 or so to begin with. I would advise darker with the caution that anything under 35 would prolly get scraped if you aint careful.

I think 35% would be a good tint level for your car. Not TOO dark but enough.

Go with 35%, at least on the front doors which keeps you good with Johnny Law. You will hate 20% on your back windows if you do any backing up at night. My parents have a long driveway, and my brother's back windows were 20%. It was a pain to back down the drive and see. Spend the extra money for the higher heat rejection tint. People believe darker tint will help keep the sun's heat out, but it does not. The better quality tint does.

I have 15% all the way around. If the rear window is dirty, happens alot, backing up gets a little harder. It gets really hard if there is moisture on there. Have wait for defroster to work or scrape it off with something before leaving, otherwise it is a shot in the dark to back up.
