dunno... would be hard as hell to see out of the windows at night.

i had an old z28 with light interior and had 20% and was hard as hell looking out the back window...
same goes with my Vette over there <---(profile pic).. it has 20% and it is kinda hard to see out the back at times, and thats that the windows are right on your face pretty much

also had an old ford truck with dark interior...and was damn near inpossible to see out the back...maybe hat makes a big difference? just my observations.

anyways im thinking of getting either the "Huper Optik" brand tint possibly in 35% all the way (due to great heat rejection) or now after reasding another couple posts, may go with that Lumar brand in the same %age

What do you really want to know about limo tint O6? It is nearly black looking and and allows like 5% light through. If it's too dark for your HHR is a personal preference. I had limo tint on my Mustang and loved it. I have 20% now on my HHR and I want it darker. Some people feel any tint on your windows is too much. Do you have a specific question in mind that you need answered?

I have 15% on all my windows on top of the stock tint. Its DARK! Can hardly see backwards at night but its a good thing we have BRIGHT reverse lights. My windows from the outside look blacked out. Just like your avatar is what the windows will look like from outside. Inside its like being in a stock HHR with a set of REALLY dark sunglasses on. Hope it helps

I recently had 30% added to the two front, which on top of the 70% factory brought it down to about 20%. Exactly what I wanted, now all windows match. I would think limo tint would be way too dark for any windows except for the back side glass. I want to be able to see behind me when I'm driving to watch other drivers (or nut jobs). For those with young children I could see limo tint on the rear door glass to keep the sun off thier face. Bottom line I don't think limo tint is safe on the front side door glass or rear hatch glass, becouse as previously stated, you cant see out of it at night, but all this is my opinion and you are free to put anything on you wish, within the guidelines of the law of course.
