    35%. Virginia law has 50% front, 35% rear, but I wanted the same percentage all the way around. My Impala has 35% all around, but looks "lighter" since the car is black and the interior is gray. I'm sure the GP will look darker with a black interior.

    LOL

    Rear window tint does not bubble from using your rear defroster. It bubbles cause its low quality film.

    if your going to keep the car for many years, what ever you get or what ever you do, make sure the film going on is metallic window film. It reflects UV rays better, and does not allow sunlight to break it down, like you see when it turns purple and bubbles.

    Thats what all the Asian shops use here, so we call it "China Tint" around here.

    I had a guy do my car with commercial grade film, the rear window done in one full piece for $100.00. Other shops...$200.00+ for stuff they cant and wont stand behind. I stripped out all the old purple tint from my GTP that the previous owner had in there, and cleaned every window myself before taking it in.

    I'm not sure about that metallic part. Metallic film can interfere with a rear window antenna. It can interfere with its ability to pick up stations. I had to pay a bit extra when I had my Impala done, about $30-$40 for the non metallic brand of tint.

    My antenna is in my rear window along with the rear defroster elements and I still sport a stock head unit.

    No problems here with anything.

    If you paid more for non metallic...you got taken advantage up.
