Well its been a while for me, but the limo tint during the day is perfectly fine. You can clearly see out of it, and it also cools the interior down a bit. As for at night, it is tough to back up, but I never really had a problem with it.

I believe the tint is 5% but I could be wrong because when I had it done I just asked for the darkest they had. Personally I really enjoy the tint and felt like it really finished the car off nicely. I would really recommend it for others and if I was to do it all again I wouldn't hesitate to tint them. Its good to get it professionally done as well, i've seen way too many "do it yourself" tinters fail horribly. If anyone is wondering it costed me about $150-170 dollars Canadian to get done.

I just found another picture of what it looks like looking out of the tint during the daylight. Note that this is when I was in high school and apparently needed to damage my hearing with a oversized stereo system...



The pictures were all taken on the same day at about the same time so you can compare how much darker everything is through the tint from the inside.

Very nice. I plan to go as dark as the law will allow me.
