35% all around is my vote. You should be ok with that but keep in mind if you have dark interior it will look a lot darker......Actually do 20% on the back and 35% on the 4 sides since your interior is gray.

You're in trouble now!! When I get a new car heck even a beater it's tinted with in a week, it's an addiction, lol. Enjoy man it's going to look and feel like a new car!

Oh I know! lol. I used to do tint myself to some of my old cars. Pep Boys for film, spray bottle of distilled water, squeegee, heat gun, razor blades, etc. My first car or two were just "okay", but they started to look decent after that. Will be nice to have a pro do it though.

i would do 15% all around, Maybe a windshield strip but i tinted my windshield anyways. If Your going to do something your gonna might as well go all the way.You have to know the consequences .

If anything keep front and the back the same whats the point of tinting YOUR car if we can see you (the driver) and not the back.

I'm not tinting it so people can't see in. I don't care about that honestly. If I did care, I'd have 2.5% or 5% all around. I have very light sensitive eyes so I was only looking for something to help me out when/if I forget my sunglasses on a bright day. This morning it helped immensely!! It also looks great I think as well.

speaking for my car going 5% on the three back windows, reason being it not like anyone can sit back there anyways, 5% across the windscreen and a 35% on the doors, I hate not being able to see out the doors cause of tint.
