    35% doesn't seem very dark. Glad I saw that before I had mine done! :)

    I don't understand why any tinting beyond that incorporated by the manufacturer is legal: maximum visibility is important.

    It's been a little while, but I installed a matching set steering wheel/shifter carbon fiber in my 2011 performance plus IMG_20190312_160854662_HDR.jpeg

    Here in Florida, darker means less SUN beating down on you.
    Your rear tint seems darker, that's probably what I want. Is that 50%?

    I'm in California. I'm going to get 5% on rear windows and 35% on front doors.

    Sound deadened my roof to finish off my soundproofing project. Wish I took more and better photos... but there's a nice one below of what the Prius looks like pre-soundproofing. Apologies on the bad quality on the other one. This is a Prius II with (no sunroof), at 50k miles currently. Overall, used 3.5 boxes of Dynamat (36 sq ft boxes) across the whole car. I also bought a box of "better" damplifier made by Second Skin, but I actually thought Dynamat did a better job than Second Skin due to the chemistry of the butyl; I experimented with two doors and the dynamat makes a much better cushy door close sound (this is subject to debate however)

    Added Dynamat + a layer of 400-level 3M Thinsulate for temperature insulation. I was a total newbie to soundproofing, and doing this was a bit easier than I thought thanks to the guides from Prius chat. If anyone wants any tips for soundproofing various sections of the car, message me. I have done the hood, doors, trunk/cargo, floor. Wish I had decibel data to share.. My end ranking for places to soundproof if you had to prioritize: 1) Doors 2) Cargo/Trunk Wheel Well Area 3) Roof, if no sunroof 4) Floor [surprisingly a lot of factory deadening makes it pretty firm already] 5) Hood

    The only other thing I can do now is add some mass-loaded deadeners like MLV or luxury liner pro to the floor, but that takes a bit more work and adds a lot of weight, and I think I am fine with the sound levels I am at now.
