^^ I would agree with Andrew and Eric on this, I also have 18% on my 3 and have zero problems driving at night.. The only time I seem to have problems is in the parking garage at work. Not really sure why, could just be me.. lol

Another great tint job by Eric @ Eclipse. Thanks for the good work!! Looks awesome.

Side Note: I also added my 2 12W6V1 subs this weekend - found a very easy way to get it taken care of. Sounds awesome - got the zoom and the boom.

Just be carefull when you through zoom and boom in the same sentence. For some mixing those two is a disaster, but only when it applies to engines.

Fortunately I was referring to the sound system rather than propulsion. :)

5% on front doors, sunroof, and front windshield strip... a little darker than 5% on the back doors and rear window because of the graphics... the graphics are cut into one piece and then a mirrored tint was overlayed onto it.

how much does it usually cost to get your windows tinted?

Mine cost $147 (just the windows)... I think it can be anywhere from $140-$180 depending on how many windows and type of tint. It also depends on the person doing the tint.

Eric also hooked m up with 18% on my Speed6 and it is very nice. I had 5% on a Wolfsberg jetta that I owned several years back and it was difficult to see when turning at night. I highly recommend the 18%. It still keeps people from peering into your vehicle and spying on your belongings, keeps the heat down, protects your interior, but most of all.... it looks Cool.

I had 20% on my Audi and it always felt a bit light to me. I'm not saying that I can tell the difference, I just love my speed6, so in that alone there is a difference. I'm wacky that way.

Kinda like the muscle car era... The more chrome you have, the faster your car went.
