Default Tint Question

What do most people go for darkness? Legal here is 35 % on side windows and 20% on back. I was thinking 20% all around. Anybody maybe have pictures of their pewter car w/ tinted windows. And what % they have?

I have 3% on my red T/A and it looks HOT!!! and thats the main reason why I kept it. 20% would actually be nice to go all around, maybe a lil darker on the back.

I will tell you this though, i'm not bothered by high beams behind me anymore

I've got 15% on sides and back (black TA). 50% is darkest legal here. Just remember the darker your interior color, the darker the tint will look.

I've got 35% on the sides and 20% on the back. With the t top shades on the sides look much darker but I never put them on. Probably should of went 20% all around.

I went with 15 on the back and 35 on the sides, looks real good. I found a guy that does a one piece back and turned out real good, no lines.

i have 5% all around. and with 5% you have to have a one piece back. since the tint is so dark, its extremely difficult to get two pieces of tint perfect and not let any light shine through. just takes a lil more talent is all
