Cliff -- nice picture! Could you post a shot of the back hatch with the 50% tint? Thanks! I'm considering 35% all around (legal limit) or 50% all around.

I live in Miami, and you NEED tints. The weather here is bipolar, but when it's HOT, it's H-O-T!

Sun is kept out and so are prying eyes.

I like to dance in my car, so the less people can see me making a fool outta myself, the better.

I don't have my Fit yet, but my little Civic got tints the second my grandma handed me the keys.

I live in the Northeast and I will never own a car without having the windows tinted. It just makes it so much more comfortable in the summer.

My windows are tinted at 18% which is pretty dark and initially I thought it would be too dark at night but it's really not. The only time I have trouble seeing is during the day beleive it or not. If it is a sunny day and I am wearing sunglasses and drive into a tunnel, (it usually takes a moment for your eyes to adjust regardless of whether or not you have on sunglasses) I have to take my sunglasses off to see clearly.

Carbon tint - 5% on the rear - 55% on the front. California law is at 70% front. Didn't want to test the boundaries too much.

Also have a little section untinted on the rear for my rear facing dash camera.

Did you guys get air bubbles near the matrix dots in the rear window? Just got mine tinted a few days ago. Also the rear small quarter panel windows look like they have a 1-2mm window tint gap around the edges it looks to be.
