I've got platinum with 15% under it on the fronts and limo under it on the backs...





Here's a pic of how dark it was with the limo under it on the front.



I think the platinum goes great but may be a little pricey. I've got the hook up on my tint.

no tint actually, ive seen some really bad tint jobs. I would put the darkest legal tint up front, but I just dont like the idea of a layer of plastic over my glass, id be scared of it bubbling down the road.

If it is done profesionally you don't have to worry. It won't fade or bubble, but if it does they will replace it for free. DON'T do it yourself.

The tint on my Eclipse was near 10 years old when I sold it and no bubbles whatsoever but the passenger side window top corner started to peel back but was fixed with no problems under the warranty.
