How much did you pay for tint? What % do you have?
I'm looking to tint my 2011 WRX soon. I called up a shop in the Bay Area and estimated about $200 for the job. How much did you guys pay? Also I'm sort of stuck debating which % I want to get. 30% or 20%?
From pictures it looks like 20% might be too dark but I've never sat in a car with 20% tint before. I've seen people with 5% tint and I have no idea how they drive around like that. What do you guys think. Will 30% give me enough privacy or should I go 20%?

Vince and Omega Tintwerks FTW!
I can't remember what I paid, but I did 20% on the rear five and 35% on the front two. NEVER had a problem with the fuzz (though it certainly helps driving a Lezbox)

$280 20% rears, 50% fronts, but he also did the fronts on my truck at the same time. Done in my own garage at my house too 
I've had 50% on all of my other cars previously and never had a cop say anything about it when pulled over.
