Hopefully some guys with be able to help me out on this...I will be giving my car to a local tint place after I get my car up to Rochester this weekend (damn I can't wait), but right now I can't decide on whether or not to get 20% or 35% tint. Either way, it will be the same all around on all the windows. I'm looking for pictures of 4G's, particularly Deep Evergreen or Dark cars with the above tint, or anything in between 20 and 35 that could provide some insight on how much you can see through...etc. Try to get some shots of sun going through the car to show how much light can be seen. I want a dark tint, but I still want to be seen. I saw a shot of 35% on a Acura on autopia.org and thought it was too light, but without seeing 20%, I fear it would be too dark. Any help is appreciated.

wow, that was quick...haha thanks for the pic. I'll check ou the homepage for some more. Do you wish you went darker, or are you satisfied with the 35%?

Also, here is the link to that acura on autopia.org with 35% side windows, and 20% rear window. I can't decide. http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63312

Overall, I'm satisified.

My dad just got his black/black BMW tinted with 35% on the back and sides and 50% on the windshield. I might add the light windshield tint in the future, I really like the way his came out.

Here's an older pic of mine:

^^^I was going to ask if that was the same tint on your car on page 5...I guess I don't have to ask. Thanks again.

Thanks for the pics everyone. I'm still up in the air about it...at least there's no rush to decide, yet, as my car isn't even with me right now. I'd love to see more if anyone has any.

35 looks good Ceasar - i was hesitant to get it but i wanted to stay legal. Honestly Im really glad i didnt go darker. it turned out very well - i think youd be pleased w/ it.

Interior color also has a lot to do with how dark the tint looks. If I had black leather, my tint would look like 10 or 15%

That is my feeling exactly. See, some of these pictures look really good with 35%, while others look way too light. This is for looks, but also for protection as my car will sit very far away from me when parked at college. However, I don't want it too dark, either. I really can't decide. It really doesn't matter what % window tint I get in NY, because ANYTHING is illegal, but it would be nice to stay legal in my homestate, which would be 35% in CT.

I put 35 percent on one of my cars once and then took it off. Wasn't worth the time.

So I guess I've narrowed it down a little. 35% is too light for what I need it for (protection, looks), and 20% might be too dark for my taste. I'm thinking 25%-28% will be what I end up going with. Thanks for the pictures and links fellas, this helped a lot in the decision. Of course, if anyone would still like to show off, feel free!

Oops, I meant to say 25% to 30% tint. I saw a couple of people here with 28%, so that leaves that option open.

Man, I can't decide because here is liquidx's car posted in the member rides forum: He has 35%.
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=433261

That is perfect for me...but I don't know which look to expect if I walk in asking for 35% based on what I saw in this thread...

in direct sunlight you can see right through my 35% like it doesnt have anything on it at all. although i do have a tan interior, 35% is still a light tint. if i could do it again and not worry about legal issues itd be 20% for me.

Thanks for the pics guys. Be on the lookout for a member's ride thread with me in it. First, I will make one when I put a couple more layers of Klasse SG on it this weekend, and then will update it with the new tint pics.

I guess I could have narrowed it down even before starting this thread had I asked the question I just did to the tint place I'm speaking to. What they have is 22% and 32% Solar Guard tint. So those are my choices...but $130 for 5 windows right now and into next week...
