I warn you about any more than 20% all around. I've got 5% on my 3 back windows in my SVT 3-Door and man...... I tell ya.....if, when you backup at night, you look through the back window. Throw THAT away becuase with 5%, backing up at night and looking out your back window is pointless. You litterally can't see s***!! Theres been times when I had to resort to backing up with my head out the sunroof LOL

I went 5% and as much as it looks sexy! its too dark to be functional. Stick with 20%

Looks really dark and nice, and I'm sure you can still look out your back window at night! :) Just thought I'd let you kno ;)

I really am considering more and more completely destryoing the warranty and going focussport stage 2 but also worried about how the auto matic will take that. What I should do is a manual swap.

Will probably be easier and cheaper to just trade for a 5 speed car.
