hey everyone, I was wondering what is a good shade for the hatch and doors, I was thinking 15% hatch and 30-35% doors. <BR>what has everyone done to theirs? <BR>What is too dark?

I have 5% on the back right now and I expect to get at least 35% on the sides, maybe in the 20s... its dark from theback. You definately can't see in

Hey man do all the windows the same! It looks stupid if you back window it dark as s**t and your sides are not just get 20% all around. I did and it looks really good.

You got to remember to if you got a really cool interior that no one will see it if the windows are dark.<P>I did 15% all the way around and now I have to have my windows down if I want to show my car.

i did 15% rear and 35% on the sides......<BR>i wanted to see out the sides @ night......<BR>my interior is black so you cant see in<BR>jason

I used to have 5% on sides and back..then I got pulled over twice by state troopers so I said the heck with that and now I have 50% on side and 35% on the back. Unfortunatly for me that's VA law. Belive it or not though from certain angles the 50% on the sides looks a lot darker than it really is...my interior is a bit on the dark side anyways.<P>I have heard that I can go 5% on the back but I don't know if I'm going to do that right now.

I can't go dark in the side windows 35% is the lightest I can find where I am, and plus there are laws preventing me from going limo dark in the sides, the hatch doesn't matter. but I figure I can't go super dark. I do want to be able to almost see out at night.

I have 15 on back and sides. I want to get 35 up front.

I have 20 on the sides, 35 rear, and 5 for the front strip

I have another problem with tinting.<BR>I was up to the local Decal shop yesterday and he was doing great with the tinting, when he ran into a problem, he has to use the heat gun to take the wavs out but he couldn't get all of them because I have the Hatch shade. He told me it had to be removed, in order to get the perfect match on the outside, so he wouldn't be struggling in the inside.<BR>My gueston is should I get the shade removed? and is it liable to break?<BR> As far as I know it is the factory piece and has been on there for 10 years (since 92) so it may be brittle. And if it breaks is it possible to find another one?<BR>I love the look of the shade and I believe it's rare so I don't want to loose it.

20% all around. I like the same shade because I think it looks funky w/ 2 dif shades. Also I didnt get the front strip becuse it looks outta place too.<p>[ April 25, 2002: Message edited by: I_love_my_MX-3 ]
