That looks like less than 50%. Hold up I'll post pics of mine. The rear windows are 30% and front is 50%.

Different car, but you get the idea for darkness.



30% on the front is plenty dark. I have 50 on my front windows and 30 in the back, in CA and its about perfect for me. And more than about 30% in the back makes it hard to see out the back window at night

Damn I think I just set up an appointment for nothing, since 35% is the limit around here. Maybe I can get away with 20%...

Yeah, it looks like you have 35% already... I have 35% and it is about the same or slightly darker.

Yeah, that looks like 35%. Here's my car, 35% sides and 15% rear...





I'd go 20% or darker if I were you. At some point I want to have mine re-done with 5% all around

BTW, unless the cops in your area are really strict, I wouldn't worry about going dark. Here in Ohio the limit is 50% but I had 5% on my S10...



Never got pulled over for it, and I frequently drove through some cities with ******** cops. Night visibility isn't as bad as you'd think and it looks sick

I would do 15 or 20% on a daily driver and 5% on a weekend cruiser. 35 is a waste of money in my opinion

i thought 20% was a waste so i retinted with 5% all around and now thinking about getting the windshield fully tinted at 35%. I just don't want anybody see in my car so i guess thats why i only like 5%.
