My Titanium Grey is 35%. 3rd party through the dealer did it, it seems ok. I would go at least 20%, 35 can be a little light at times. (I would load a pic but its too large for this site...)

Just had my friend Chad do mine. 17% all around: https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...989#post963989

$130, and took about 2 hours. Looks better than my last professional tint from Ziebart. Feel free to PM me if you're interested, and I'll get his contact info for you. BTW, he lives up north in the Castleton area.

Went with metallic tint on the Ti color.
20% all windows, not the front

Thanks, where I am born they still need to invent tint!
One issue if you are inclined to to this kind of tint.
Nav reception is less, it's still fine but it's less.
XM has dropouts, never had them before.
(Antenna is on the rear package shelf)
I will move said part to the front window at the end of this week

that tint makes your car look even sweeter, but is a little over the top for me
