LOL

Nope...not much night time driving for me.

Be careful if its for your daughter and your not confident in her driving skills. I have 5% on all back windows and 20% on the front windows all over the privacy glass tint and my rear view mirror is always dim which is why it's hard to reverse at night.

Granted guys, I do have to take my daughter into consideration.

However, once she has her own car, the 20% does look great all the way around. Just can't do that yet.

I think I will give the 35% a shot and then she will have a care in a few months and it won't matter.

I had to roll my windows down on every other car I have owned due to the tint. Never too dark to get pulled over, but dark enough at night time to have to see good.

Thanks!

I see your 5% and raise you my limo tint.

That's what I thought. That E70 looks gangsta though. Even if it is a huge tank.
