Heyyy everybody im new so show me some love! haha :)
Had my mazda 3 hatch 2010 for little while now and im planning on getting some tints!
I'm super psyched about it! i was thinking 17 % in the front and 5% in the back.
Anyone have this combo? if so pictures please! Also any issues with viability?
I have an appointment with audio heaven Monday morning :0

Welcome!
I've been to Audio Heaven three times now and I haven't run into any issues with them. I was there today and some guy was asking about getting 5% done, and I don't even think they will do that. I believe 17% is the darkest they will go. I went with 23% and the visibility is ok, so I'm sure 17% wont be much different and it will look great on your car.

Yup. They really don't recommend 5%. Anyway, check out this thread on tints with some pics. Hope it helps you with your final decision. I changed my mind at the last minute. I was about to go 35% all around but went with 35% front and 17% rear.

I have 20% in the fronts and 5% in the rears. What I would do if I were you is go 17% all around except the back window and then do 5%. It looks better that way in the long run. Good luck :thumbsup

I was actually thinking of doing just that. 17% all around except get the rear 5% so no one can see my subs in the trunk :)
Thanks for the advice

I'd probably avoid doing 5% just cause rear visibility backing up on dark street or even at night = disaster waiting to happen...

Since your car is brand spankin' new, why not get 3M paint protection for your hood and fenders too?

Welcome to the Club Lisa
I have a 2010 CWP Hatch and I was elated with the work done at Auto Links. not only was the service good they also have the Ceramic tints. If you plan on keeping your car for more then five years these will last and are only a little more. They also don't interfere with any GPS / Bluetooth you might use.
The percentages are a little different I went 30% in the Front and 20% all around the back. If I would do it again I probably would have gone 20% all away around. I also had my front banner done.
The ceramic tints come with a lifetime warranty which is transferable when you sell your car.
Cheers
Ash

I went 20 all around a week ago. They did a great job. I think they only have 35 20 or 5 correct me if I'm wrong.

I got 15% all around (from Auto Links not Audio Heaven).
And absolutely love it.
