If your username is what car you have, you have the same car as me. I have the strip you are talking about on my car, it's 5%. It was only like 20 more bucks on top of the regular tint job. I think it really makes a difference on the overall look of the car, it looks really sweet. It's actually useful too. When the sun is lower in the sky (morning and evening), it really blocks out the sun and helps you see better. GET IT.
