I have 5% all round on my last 3 cars. Love it: but you have to accept not being able to see in the dark, no joke. Reversing is a pain, camera and sensors will be your friend!

No, it's to look super cool, and i personally think a dark tint does just that, and in townsville it's great as once the car cold down with the aircon on, it stays cool.

i would never put 5% on my front doors. there is a fine line between practical and stupid, and i think 5% is on the wrong side of that line.

Get darkest legal tint. Looks horn, gives privacy, cools the car...
Any darker voids insurance policies. |

imo i have had and go 18% on all of my cars, yes personal choice , its light enough to get through police checks, i live rural and its enough to see out of in dark(sometimes) and as interior is dark the "look" of the car is much darker.
5% is too dark and asking for trouble from authorities

I had 10% on one of my old cars. Too dark. Was a nightmare to try and park at night, just plain dangerous!
But it looked awesome.
