tbh there isnt too much difference between 15 and 20 i would go 15 all around cause im a fan of dark tint. if i can see with 5% at night youll be fine with 15%

I chose SolarGard's lifetime warranty 15% tint all around, and can see great during the day or at night with no problems.

Hawaii tint law for sedans is 35% on front and rear doors, with 6% leeway. Back window we can go 5%. SUVs and trucks can have 5% all the way around except the front windows at 35% lol. Just goes to show what happens to locals (with some of the lowest SAT scores in the nation) turning into politicians.

I got the closest I could get to Florida legal levels... I believe 25% on the fronts and 15% on the rears and front strip. (bad picture)

The fronts are a bit light IMO at times, will redo at 15% all around next time. Seeing isn't a problem, I do double check my blind spots though. Actually, when I have a big a** truck behind me with HID bulbs in his reflector housings the tint actually comes in handy.

Also, I'm sure you know, but get a good installer for the rear window (at least on the coupes), its a b&%$h to tint the top part of the rear window. Mine isn't perfect and is going to get redone at some point.

uhh, they suppose to do it perfectly. if not, why didn't you tell them to fix it when your getting the tint? some tint is lifetime guaranteed so you should check up on that.
