I put black 5% tint all the way around. Although i'm going darker in the back with some 2% . I got the solar yellow color so the darker the tint the better it looks

 

5% is what I have now, I'll never go back either.

If you think something looks ghetto then don't get it.

 

You can find universal a/t shifters all over the place...ebay, autozone...only bad thing is that 99% of them don't have a place for the overdrive button
The only one with the o/d button that I could find...costs a whopping $113!!! http://www.cardomain.com/item/RAZRA105

Here is a DIY guide to swapping them out (it's from a toyota echo, but looks exactly the same to me)

That guy used a cheap autozone shifter w/o the o/d button...and he cut a hole in the center console for it

 

Okay, thanks everyone, this helped alot, lol... and, the 5% . . did you just tint over the factory, or did they scrape of the factory? . .

 

The back windows are "privacy glass." It's not tint. The glass is actually smoked.

And I think you should get red mirror flame tent. As for the shifter, just get a ***** and re-route the over drive button the the *****.

 

^ LMAO!!!

 

Ewww, red mirror, that'll look ghetto, lol... I'd rather get 5% all the way around.. I think the darker, the better , like dubstar said

 

Okay, but the ***** shifter is an awesome idea. I'd do it...but I've got the quick shifter and I like the TRD know...that stands for Toyota Racing Development, and not Totally Rockin' Dong.

 

ive always gone 5%
cant ever go wrong, always looks good

 

how do you guys see at night with 5? i can hardly see out with 15

 

I just wear night vision goggles.

 

u guys are too much... i like the ***** idea very inventive mike

 

Ut oh! Keepin' the "dirty" in the Dirty Third!

 

I really don't have many problems seeing at night. I thought I would.

Exactly!

 

Actually, Jon doesn't have any issues with seeing at night because he has HIDs and eats a lot of carrots...well...he puts a lot of carrots in his body, atleast.

 

Hey, that was our little secret Mike....just like your fascination with cucumbers.

 

:o . . . . Cucumbers, and carrots, there both sticks . . . hmmm, curious., . . . . .
