When you tint a small car too dark it starts to look even smaller! Your tint is just right!

Nice tint! Still want to do mine when the weather warms up. Did you go 38 all around including the rear? How much was it?

Yea, I did 38% all around so its even. If I want it darker I just roll up the rear sunshade and it makes it 20% basically. The cost was $210 for ceramic all around which is what he normally charges for metallic tint. The guy gave me a very sweet deal on it because I'm a friend of a friend. Company was Umbra Tinting in Arlington Heights, IL.

Looks good! I think the 38% is perfect for our area, hopefully the suburban piggies wont hassle you too much.

Yay for pics, enjoy. I didn't want to go too dark because its black on black and also I think that pitch black tints takes away from the car. I wanted it to still look classy but aggressive.
Just how it should be. You have it spot on just how i would have done it too if not for the legal BS this country has over tints on the front windows. Yours is classy and IMO going too dark on a dark car will make it crass.

cheers
