I've seen some members mention they have 50%. I'd like to see that. I originally wanted NO tint, but decided to go light.

I'm also interested in seeing some, I was thinking of going with 50% when I got mine done but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I'd get darker if I didn't have to deal with cops and the no side tint laws in CA...

Here is my Camaro. It has 50% on the sides....it wont let me attach any large pictures but here is a small one. if anyone could host larger pictures that would be great. Just remember that this picture is in the shade too...makes it look darker than it really is.
Attached Thumbnails Pls post pics of tint 40% or higher..-9-18-6-smaller.jpg

I got 40% on mine, so far (about 6 months) no copper problems. Looks pretty good, I would say its worth it. Depending on what type of light you have at the moment they can look pretty dark. I would say go for it, its a pretty safe way to improve your look.

anything above 35% isn't worth it imo.. you can still see inside the vehicle. I guess it depends which look you are going for. I am probably gonna go with a 5% since I live in Florida and it gets uber hot in the summer. I rarely drive with my windows up so the tint being very dark wouldn't be a problem.

Having a darker tint on the rear window than door windows helps with cops in CA, where we can't have anything tinting (front) door windows and windshields. The contrast help lighten the front doors to the eyes.

The person I know with a light/dark scheme (50%/15%) was "found out" was because they had an older, lower quality tint that had turned purple. And they only got a "you should take that tint off."

I'm not really worried about the cops since I can pass having 35% I believe. I'm just going for the light tint look.

I just got 35% on my 99 ws6 (black) and it looks sick! i had 20% on my old camaro and it looked nice but at night it was sooo not worth it, had to roll the window down to park. the 35% you can see out pretty good and still be discrete. send me a message if you wana see pics (i should take some tomorow)
