Need some tint help

I was wondering if anyone has any picutures of a Sunlight Silver 8 with either 20% or 35% tint? I had a white Explorer with 20% tint and had no problems......got a black 05' Mazda 6 with 20% and got pulled over 3 weeks after and had to get it pulled off. I now have an Silver RX-8 (couldnt take it anymore and traded the 6 for it and LOVE it!) and am getting it tinted next week but dont know what to do.......I like how the 20% looks but couldnt see too well out of my 6 at night and dont feel like getting pulled over again and spending $250 after its all said and done to get it tinted and pulled off. Any suggestions or pics to give me an idea?

Uh? I think 20% is perfect.. I'm going add some tints myself this weekend and I'm considering either 20% all around or 20% front & 5% back.. Not sure. But 20% would look better than 35%. Don't know about the visibility.. I guess that comes down to your opinion.. I have a VR btw. lol..

Thats what I said on my 6 but they came back and said "F-you, Matt" and stuck me with a repair order so I spend $150 getting the tint done and another $100 getting it peeled off 3 weeks later. I also lived in a small town where the cops have nothing better to do than watch the grass grow so the guy who gave me the ticket probably had made his quota for the week. I live more towards Baltimore now so Im hoping that helps out. I'll put some pics though when I get it done......I just bought a digital camera so I'll go a little crazy.
