Pics of 20% all around on my site. Also, I'd recommend getting the sunroof done too - it's nearly always too bright in the car without some tint on it.

I don't think it's way too light.

go with 20 all around

check my cardomain site for pics. i have light grey interior aswell.

cali's legal limit for front windows is 75% so i'm taking a pretty big risk.

you should be okay though.

I've got a black interior & it was cloudy out. That makes it look even darker. On a sunny day you can see a bit through the sides.

Detail or body shop depends on how deep the scratches are. If it's just swirls and light surface scratches, the buffer should take care of it. If they're deeper, then def try the body shop.

I have 15% all the way, also with pics on my site

I actually like not having the sunroof done because it lets enough light into the cabin to make the tint look lighter if you are in the company of 5-0. I have to worry about that kind of stuff beacuse they have stupid tint laws in Cali.

A blacked out sunroof does look good though!

Since I am moving to Colorado soon I hope I dont have a problem with my tint.

The inspection in California was so easy. All they did was step out and look at my VIN! Hope Colorado is that easy. Cali didnt even make me roll up my windows.
