I did it for both. I have sensitive eyes as well.

"sensitive" eyes won't get you an rx.

You normally have to be diagnosed with specific conditions, and not just of the eye, but often skin.

I wasn't asking for clarification, I was asking about you saying "mine as well", I believe you meant "might as well".

try NJ, no tint is allowed on the front windows at all.

been pulled over 2 times, got 1 ticket.

For u sensitive eyes people. I suggest getting a 5% strip on top of the windshield!

For the sensitive eye peeps out there, get some raybans or oakley's.. J/K I have 5% all the way around my car and am about to have 35% put on my front windshield. I live in Tennessee and have never been pulled over for my tint (legal is 35% here). I got one speeding ticket and the cop gave me grief about my tint but I told him I bought the car with this tint and he just gave me a speeding ticket. I have had dark tint for 10 years with NO issues. (with this said watch me get a ticket tomorrow) Now when I first purchased my Grand Prix it had 15 or 20 on it and it was nice. My car got broken into and two windows had to be retinted so I had all the old tint stripped off and had 5% put on all the way around and I love it during the day. I don't burn from sunlight and my interior is 13 year old leather that looks as good as the day it was new. At night, at first, the 5% was a b**ch to see out of around dark sharp turns, narrow roads with no shoulders, and mirrors are useless but I got use to it and is nothing to me now. I sometimes roll my windows down backing out of an unfamiliar driveway but other then that I love the 5%. Would I suggest it, probably not, I would go with 15-20. 35% is to light and looks grayish depending on where you get your tint from. I would just find some buddies or go to your local tint shop at closing time and ask some guys that had their car tinted if they'd mind you sitting in their cars or maybe they ride you around. I stalked a guy in the local mall parking lot because his car drove by and I saw his front windshield blacked out. I found him, parked and got out, he looked like WTH at first but I asked about his windows and was like "yeah man have a seat" and he drove me for a loop in the parking lot. LOL (his wife was in the car to) He had 35% on his front, 20% on his sides and back and it looked amazing!! Tint is give and take, less light IN your car the darker your tint will look if that makes sense (20% tint on sides 50% front makes sides look 5% and front darker then 50%). Research it and look at as many cars as you can and go from there, it's not peel and stick..

BTW here's a pic of mine with 5% on sides and back (sorry about surroundings, most recent I have and I was putting all new brakes on my car)...
