Tinting questions

So I have a Mineral White M4 on order and am thinking about tinting the windows to 20% and the windshield and back window to 50% when it comes in. What are the thoughts around here on tinting? My brother and his buddy tint all their cars to these %'s but I have never tinted the windshield before.

Thanks!

Tim

I did my M4 sides and back with 30% and the windshield with 70%. Texas would not allow 50% on the windshield. I have tinted my cars for many years, but have never done the windshield before. It makes a HUGE difference. Highly recommend it.

been looking at tinting but worried that taking the door panels off will cause squeeks and rattles. since you have been tinting your cars so often- ur thoughts ?

They don't take the door panels off. At least my installer didn't.
