I dont have pictures, but both me and my sister have 20s all around. I find it to be a very good amount. Not too light but dark enough for me. of course her tints look a little darker since she as a black interior

I would say 15% all around.

As long as you don't get 5% in the back you will be fine. It gets really hard to back up at night when you go that dark.

Don't go any lighter than 20%. It's dark enough that you're comfortable from the sun and people will be able to tell that someone is in the car but won't be able to make you out.

i went 30% all around n love it

I did Pinnacle F1 35% and really wish I had gone darker.

15 i believe would be good. and with black interior would look even darker from the outside.

+1 I'm very happy I went with 20% and not any darker because any darker and backing out of my garage/drive way would be very difficult. Anyway, I'm constantly getting compliments on my cars tint and people tell me it's really dark for just 20%.

check your states low on how dark you can be...if you dont care about that then do 15-20% i prefer 5% all the way around the darker the better

Highoutput · 05-10-2011, 09:07 AM

I have 20% all around and I think it is perfect.

Not worth it IMO, unless you've had experience doing that sort of thing. It's just not that expensive to have someone else do it professionally. Tint is a pain to remove completely, and if you screw it up you'll be doing that or paying someone to remove it.
