Damn, thats dark. Here in Utah, you can do anything on the back but are limited to 43% on the sides. So I have 45% on the sides and 15% on the back so there isnt a huge difference. I would check your states laws on it before tinting, personally I think darker is better, but with 10% or less you see nothing but lights at night.

Most def check the laws in your state b/c some enforce it HEAVILY and it will suck to pay for a nice tint job to be pulled over shortly after and get a ticket and thingy saying remove your tint. Now there are certain loopholes like if you bought your car out of state and moved there then the tint law might now apply *also again varying on state to state law*

i would suggest not going with side tint... just my personal preference... the side windows are meant to break away if ur in a side impact collision and with most bumpers on suv's they line nicely up with ur face.. but tint holds the glass together so the bumper will be rubbing nice shards of glass into ur face.. i never new that b4 i go tmy ticket and yah tint looks damn nice but i'd rather have my face pretty then have my car look 2 points cooler. plus its just good to have crystal clear vision while driving

also cops wont have as much of a reason to harass you if they are bored

So the lesson is?

Be faster than the SUVs and dont let them hit you. As a great man once said, "SUVs are like nuclear weapons, your only defense against one is to get one of your own."
