20% for the back window and 15% for the sides... perfect combo!

Just dark enough to not see in, but light enough you can back up at night.

I know it's not a Mustang, but here's my truck with 20% on the sides and 5% on the back (over the factory tint, which makes it more like 13%).

I've never understood this mindstate. you want tint, but not much darker than the legal limit. What's the point of that, 5% all around or nothing. That's my philosophy.

DONT get 5%, its practically unsafe at night if you daily driven you stang. My brother had a 97 t-bird with 5%, I hated driving it at night.

My buddy has an 03 dsg gt and put 20% all the back and sides, LOOKS GREAT.

I feel 30% is too light but do-able and 5% is way too dark, so 20% is perfect!!!

When I finish my cobra's tint, it will be 20% all the way around.

I know there are tint picture threads in the SN-95 cobra section, you might get a good search there.

I would have to say get something like 20%. The guy at the shop talked my friend's parents into getting 35, and it's definitely not dark enough. 5 looks good on the outside, but I hate driving in it because it gets too dark

my truck is dodge's version of dsg. i just had 20 percent put on all around. imo, it's a good "shade" because it's dark enough, but you can still see out of it at night. plus it's not so dark that you run the risk of being harassed by your local pd.

i put 5% all around and 5% "eyebrow" in the front cant be seen riding with anything less.

the only thing thats a real set back is backing up in a dark alley
