fresh from the tint shop.
70% windshield (mostly for UV blockage although it does block some solar heat) 35% front, 15% rear.

70% on the whole windshield? Watch out that's a mandatory tow and a heavy ticket in most states.

Thanks to all those who have responded with pictures so far. Any other 2005-2009 models that want to join in?

I'm deciding between 20% or 35%, possibly something in between if they have it.

Subcon - do you have any pics that are even more side profile that show the inside of the car or through both windows? Congrats on the new Outback!

RockHopJohn - looks remarkably like 20% all the way around doesn't it? Maybe it was the lighting?

as requested. in the first one, you can kinda make out the driver-side a-pillar. in the 2nd, you can sorta make out the contour of the front seats, and in the 3rd, you can possibly see the left rear passenger window.

Not sure of the exact tint percentages on my 08, as I cannot locate the reciept right now. I know that it is close to the end of what the legal limit in Florida allows for. Florida is pretty strict on enforcing tints that are too dark. Too many cop shootings from inside vechicles make them very paranoid.
