Finally got the windows tinted in my SHO, I've had the car for 10 months.  5% all around, 5% brow, and Lamin-X head and tail lights in gunsmoke (did those a few weeks ago myself). All that's left, is to get the chrome wrapped. I'd love to have the wheels done in black chrome, I just don't want to pay to have them refinished. LOL

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

How much did the lamin-x headlight wrap hurt your visibility at night? Did you wrap them yourself? Overall, looks sharp!

I like the 5%.  Is it hard to see at night?

Looks like OP hasn't been active for a while?

I'm curious how the brow tint worked out.

Was thinking about it for my XSport, but the dot matrix and wiring around the rear view mirror have me wondering how this might turn out. The AS1 line on mine also seems pretty darn low.

Can't speak for the brow tint but i put on gunsmoke headlight tint about 10 days ago. In normal city driving at night it cut down on headlight output just barely enough to be noticeable but definitely not a deal breaker or anything dangerous IMO . . and that's with completely stock HID headlight system including bulbs. Haven't been on any dark un-lit roads since they'be been on though. Either way i need to get some 6k bulbs-i do think that will help overall.

The stock color temp puts out the most light. Going to 6k will only help if the stock bulbs have lost enough output already. Either go with Osram CBIs, not cheap or stick to name brand stock replacements if you want the most output.
