    This is not mine but I have the same color 01 prius. Wanted to get opinions on what the best tint would be for my vehicle? Mirror/black what %s. I live in FL so the more sunlight blocked the better (legal of course) TIA

    I tend to like the blended look.

    35% on the fronts, and 15% or even 5% on the rears.

    50% on the fronts, and 25% or 15% on the rears.


    My car is now 70% on the fronts and 5% on the rears due to tickets. I used to run 35% on the front. :(

    Even with 35% on the front I still couldn't achieve the blended look when running 5% in the rear. 15% would have looked nicer IMO.

    I would do 35/5 or 20/5 if you want to push it. I used to have 5% all around and it looked good but I now have 0 front 5% rear and paranoid about more tickets.
