Show me your tints!

I'm looking for pics of your tinted windows, with percentage of tint included. I'm going to get mine done, but I'm still undecided on how dark.

TIA,
TIA

35% all around.

Yes it looks dark, even in person, especially at night. Our black interior makes tint look darker than it is.

Wow, that looks REALLY dark for 35%. I was thinking going 20% in the back and 35% on the sides, but I don't know after looking at this...might just do what you did.

Here's some pictures of mine from a few months ago. 20% all around (except windshield, of course), high quality film that has flakes of metal in it, opposed to being dyed.





And here are some from just a few days ago. These give you a better idea for how the tint looks from inside the car, as well.

If I could do it again, I would get 5% tints. I got 15% btw. To me, I think they're really light.

I recommend going 5% in the rear and 20% on the side. ALL these tints look way darker in these pics than in real life. With my 35% on the sides, you can see straight in but it looks pitch black in these pics

Thanks all for the pics. Appreciate it.

I'm taking it in tomorrow morning to get done. 20% on the back, 35% on the front sides, still undecided between 20 and 35% on the back sides, but probably go with 35% there as well.
