    It's tint not tints. It would look good. I've never seen a car that didn't look better after tint.

    I have 15% in front.

    5% in back.

    5% Visor.

    People always complain you cant see at night, thats false. Go eat some carrots then. The cool thing about tint, you cant see in but you can see out. Weird huh?

    My input: Go dark.

    I have excellent night vision, but backing out of dark parking spaces, and even my driveway is damn near impossible without putting my window down with my tint. I am guessing its either 10% or 15% based on knowing my Stealth is 15%.

    Don't try visibilty with the grand prix.

    It doesn't have any to start with.

    And most "mods" detract from that. Eg Tinted tails.

    I definitely agree with that. The blind spots are HUGE.

    I've had cars that I knew were beside me completely disappear for 5 seconds or more.

    I have 35% all the way around. To me it's perfect. Not too dark where it looks like I'm hiding something, but not to light where it's not even noticeable.

    i went 35 up front, 20 around the backs.

    35 up front is just fine for me. at night in the rain its still hard to see, i dont know how you guys drive around with 5% all around.
