20% with 5% behind it is very dark. basically that is 5% of 20% visible light transmitted. So of the 100% of light that comes through a clear window you are getting .05 x .20 x 1.0 = .01 (or 1%) of the total. That is very dark and possibly dangerous. Can you still see out of it at night? Does look good, but I think it would be just as nice with only the 20% or only the 5%...
Just my $0.02.

Lol yeah that's definately too dark. I had 5% over the factory 40% on my '94 explorer and I loved it, but that was only on the rear 7 windows. The front two and top of windshield were only 5%...
I'd say put 5 over 20 on the back to compensate for the windshield not being tinted and 5 for front two sides and winshield at MAXXXXX lol. Nobody would see a silhouette sp? through that, let alone what you have.
That's crazy dark man. You'll find it to be a pain, you just won't admit it to yourself until the initial excitement wears off.
I've thought about going 5 over 20 on rear 3, 5 on front two sides with 5% strip across top windshield, and 35 covering the whole windshield heatshrunk, no seams. But I doubt I'll do it.
Looks good though!

I had limo tint (5%) on all windows except the windshield for last 2 and and a half years on my LS, but now I have 20% on the front 2 doors.
I had 20% on all the windows a few years ago. State boy gave the wife a ticket. So I took it off the doors. In Illinios, you cannot tint the front doors. The rest you can go as dark as you want.
As for driving with it that dark. I find myself using my side mirrors more and doulbe checking my blind spots before changing lanes. Little more careful, thats a good thing.
