Depending on where you live there are specific laws regarding how dark the tint can be. In KY where I live the front door windows cannot be tinted as dark as the rear doors and the rear window. I went with the legal limit. Check with a reputable shop to find out the legal limit.
I like that color, I think it would look great with a tint.
Tint is most likely illegal in your state, so if you are willing to take the risk, do it.
I think 20% all around is a great level, you can see at night, but it gives a great level of tint.
Generally, 35% tint lets you see the driver's face, 20% lets you see a silhouette.

Hey check out this link. I ordered a complete Kit myself for Xmas. I got it soon after I ordered it, but USPS messed it up and bent the tube. No problem, they send a brand new one after I fax the form ( that they send to you ) that was filled out by your local post office.

I don't know what the legal limits are in your state, but I decided to go with only 50% all around. Plus I chose the unusual color blue. Something different around here. The kit is precut so you don't have to worry about getting it right. I hope I get my replacement kit soon so I can post how it went and some pics.
Good luck!!!

Finally got my replacement kit. Like I said it's precut but it still needs a little trim at the edges. UNFORTUNATELY it's not that easy to put it on. I started with the small triangle windows at the passenger rear door. Worked perfect. But when I got to the bigger windows, I ran into massive problems. I messed up the passenger rear and front window. So the kit is great, but having somebody who has experience with putting on the window tint is the best I can recommend. Like I said the kit has a lifetime warranty against bubbles scratches and stuff like that. So after I told SnapTint that I ran into problems they told me I don't have to order a whole new kit. It's 9,99$ a window. I think that is a fair deal because it's precut. I can definitely recommend SnapTint!!!
I wait till my friends comes back from his Army trip cause he knows what to do. I'll keep you posted and post some pics when I'm done. Should be around the middle of February[:@]
I paid $135 to have my doors and rear window tinted. It came with a lifetime warranty but in the 4 years since I had it done I have not had the first bubble. My advice is to just find a reputable shop and have them do it. A lot less headaches.
