Nyper - I ordered the best 3m had for my wife's car. Pre cut from ebay. It was extremely easy to put on and took 80% of the headache away from having to fit and cut.

Just a warning / my 2 cents / our experience:
5 yrs ago this May my son was a passenger in a MVA with another kid who had what I believe was 5%, may have been 15%, on his side windows. The kid driving doesnt know why he pulled out in front of an 18-wheeler on my sons side, says he never saw it. My "guess", it was just before dark, window tint was so dark he just didnt see it in time pulling accross a median on the 4 lane highway.
Anyhow, for what it's worth, tint can have some serious disadvantages when too dark.

I live in west tn and in our little towns around here they are very strict on dark tint. They say its a safety factor for the officers. I used to run dark tint but at night you would have to crack your window to see to pull out or back up. Needless to say I dont run dark anymore.

That's not true about the rear windows they can be as dark as you want them. Factory tint is 20 percent. Like said before be careful at night it takes some getting used to.

Any fixed window that does not roll down can have whatever % tint on it. Windows that roll down legal limit is 35%.
I have factory tint on the back of my extended cab truck and put 5% on top of that. Front windows have 20% on them.. Never had any issues with mine.
