YOUNG AND WRECKLESS!!! Lol Looks sweet, I got double 5% on the rear sides of mine and the fronts are a really light tint, at night you can't see through the front but during the day it's pretty clear. I wanna get the front tinted to 20%... In California it's legal to get any shade on the rear windows and 75% I think I don't really remember on the front... It was some ridiculous number IIRC

I am curious here in the Commonwealth you don`t get hassled.
I had a friend have to peel his off along the road He was told if it is tinted glass from the factory your ok If the truck came from the southwest USA.
I can`t say I blame them they want to be able to see your hands during traffic stops.
Interesting I only had one Supra with a tinted hatch it was on till I got the car home. just couldn`t see out very well

i use a long handled, brass bristle grille brush. you can get one at sprawlmart for $2. they're just stiff enough to scrub well, and won't rust between washes.
spray on any cleaner, simple green or whatever, and scrub your sidewalls with the grill brush. then follow with any tire shine product you prefer.
tires done right make every vehicle look better.
shiny -
or non shiny -

Getting off topic here but...
Too much tire shine looks like crap in my opinion. I just spray them with bleach, let it sit for about 5 minutes, and wash with soap/water/nylon brush to neutralize the bleach. The nylon brush doesn't scuff the tires and bleach will really bring out the black & white. Then I spray on some Armor All or equivalent, let it soak in, and spray them off with a hose to tame the shine.

20% is way better for night driving, huge difference against 5% and the look from the outside is not much different depending on the brand.

Depends on how much you use your back window. 20% will not match the factory tinted rear as far as I know, but there are different brands if you have the time to go around and try to match tint with your rear, of just get a non tinted window and get it matched.
