Just got tinted

I went out to Chicago yesterday to get my car tinted (Thanks hectorc!). In about an hour, I had 20% all around installed. Here're some pics:

Hmmm. maybe it's just because it's a picture but my 20% looks way darker than that. I had 20 done all around in July and love it, but it is really quite dark.

I think I changed some camera settings when I took the second pic; it's black not purple. Thanks for the compliments!

Looking good man. It looks a lil lighter than 20% cause mine is dark as heck at 20% and i have a tan interior also. But who know what the window dude was smoking when he did mine cause it might be 5% limo.

Honestly, I'd take the ticket but that's just me. I used to live CA and I know CHP/LAPD can be real A-holes when they wanna be but it's my tint so write me a ticket.

the reason why his looks darker than yours doc, is because he has a light car, with a light colored interior. yours is a BLACK car, and its gonna look darker, for example, one of my friends had a WHITE celica, got 20's done, didnt look that dark, than he got a black on black '04 6pd accord coupe v6, and it looked a lot darker than it did on his celica.

thats why yours look a lot darker than THT's

Yeah, Ive been stopped where I live in Cali three times for tint, but they never wrote me a ticket... one of em said u cant have ANY tint on the fronts but i think hes wrong on that one, but they also said its a moving violation now instead of a fix it ticket. I have like medium tint, i forgot what % but it looks nice.

Mr. Duck, I'm not sure you understood what I was saying...or maybe I'm not fully understanding you, but I was saying that my 20% seems darker than his. We both have dark colored cars with his being green and mine black. My interior is tan also.

i think the difference is according the color of the interior...dark interior = "darker" tint...lighter interior= "lighter " tint.
