That looks awesome!! I have a black 89 I am going to have done in the spring, 15% up front, 5% rear. My 96 Impala SS is done 20% on all the windows; I think in the spring I will bring that one back in for 5% all the way around.

Looks nice, good luck with the local PD.

As I don't remember what is legal in wisconsin...20% I think, I went 30% side and 15% rear. Rear doesn't matter as long as you have side view mirrors. Also went with the very best "Metal Film" I think they called it. They did the Rear window in three pieces and you can't even tell. Some people claim to have pulled it off in one solid piece, but whats the diff. looks

Looks great
Is there any twisting of the tint, at the strut mounts.
I did the side glass myself, but opted for the pros to the the rear in a 1 piece. Tint was twisted at the struts, so they redid it and still twisting at the struts. I'm planning to paint the top half of the vette, so I may pull the hatch and have them redo it a third time.

Yes strut twist happened on 1 side, but he was able to fix it with a heat gun and a squeegie.....
