Anyone get 5% and regret it? Anyone have 15% and wish it were darker? Any recommendations or input would be much appreciated. TIA

Ib4 trashy.

I have 15% and would have regretted 5. Fifteen is dark at night and during the day 15 is fine.

I have 5 on my 1 ton and jeep. I only have to roll down my windows if I'm in the boonies at night. Really not a big deal with a backup camera

I have 5% on my car and it’s perfect. Sometimes I crack the window at night to help when I’m pulling out the driveway, but that’s abt it.

My husband has 15 on his truck and wishes he had gotten 5.

1st Get Ceramic Tint. 5% tint at night with windows roll up is hard to see out the windows.

I did 20% ceramic on my front windows and honestly at 40 it would be rough turning onto dark roads and driveways at night if I went darker.

I did 20% on my front windows and 20% over the factory tinted windows in the back.

15% is plenty dark and you can’t still see thru it pretty well at night.

5% looks better from the outside, but it sucks if you actually like to see at night.

Stay legal or deal with the chances of getting pulled over at any time.

Yes, I know some people that have their windshield tinted and never had issues. But might be my luck but I got pulled over for it.

5 over 15 on sides and back glass. 50 on the windshield with a 5% strip. No regrets.

5% is what you want

Anything lighter is not worth your time

have a combo of 5 20 and entire windshield at 35. if you pay for 3m ceramic make sure you verify for sure that's what they use.

Based on what? Definitely not heat rejection if you go ceramic.
