I agree...in fact my tinter, who tints cars for ads on occasion, told me for ads more often than not they use 20%...it looks nice but also lets you see the interior of the car...it doesn't simply black out the windows

20%?? that cant be... someone's definition is wrong... Isnt 20% pretty dark... meaning it only Allows 20% of outside light pass through into the car. That pick looks more like ummm 35% tint to me, either that or its REALLY REALLY bright when you took that pic.

20% according to my tinter...I have to assume it blocks 20% of the light from entering?? And at the same time I have to assume that definition is correct because I have never heard of an 80% tint which of course would be what mine would be referred to as...if the definition were reversed. Again...I'm not tint pro...so perhaps I'm wrong
