30% side......... 15% rear........ceramic tint. Rear is a little hard to see through at night when your backing up in a dark place but on road or highway I can see just fine.

Anyone just do the rear? I feel like the back half of my silver coupe is missing something, but not sure what yet. Had been thinking about tint on the hatch glass only. I don't mind the sides as they are and don't want problems with LEOs. Thinking maybe just a 35% on the rear?

Yeah.. I also did not get anything put on the windshield. I don't think it looks right on a sports car but to each their own... On my pickup i have a 5% "eyebrow" over the top of the windshield but again nothing on the vette.

Thanks.

The action shots are from www.killboy.com taken on the Cherohala Skyway last month.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
