#56495 not sure if this should be in the interior section or the exterior section. i have a question about tinting my windows, i want to do the two back side windows and the rear back window. my question is will 5% be way to dark to even see out of in the back at night? would 20% be better? i want it to look black from the outside looking in but be able to see out from the inside. what is better? thanks in advance.

#56497 20% is best. if you get darker you will wish you hadn't at night.

#56507 I have 5% on my rear windows and rear quarter glass. I can see at night fine and as a bonus all of the fucking assholes with SUV's that have HID lights 4 feet in the air that used to blind me no longer bother me. It makes it so they have no glare. The only problem I have found with the really dark tint is that it is very difficult to parallel park at night because the car behind you does not have lights turned on so can't really see it too well. Other than that it is very nice. My front tint is 15% and it is fine as well. Also make sure if you want to use gps and or satellite radio to get non metallic tint. Otherwise you will have no reception anymore.

#67153 I have 15% and I can't see shit when I back up at night so I just roll down the windows, (this is because my driveway is not lit well at night). If there's a car behind you or you're in a decently lit area, you can see fine.

Here's a few pics:
