    Looks great. Are you sure it's 20% and not 80% on windshield? The Lower the number the darker the tint...

    I tried 20% up front once with limo on all the others and I had the front ripped off the next day, was like driving in a cave! Lol!!. Granted you live next door to Hades aka hell on earth / Vegas with the brutal sun so maybe 20% would work during the day, nighttime, well you have the Neon Vegas light to guide you.

    I've found that 43 or 50% is perfect up front (I would get 70 but my tint shot doesn't carry it).

    I love tint! Won't drive a car without it. Granted I pretty much hate the sun and also work nights, might have something to do with it. Lol.

    Ditto. Every car I've owned since 1994 I've had tinted within the first month. Feel naked without out plus I think it makes just about every car look better...except some of the exotics, tint actually makes high end cars look cheap in some cases, but not all.
