The car is a Jet Black 545i with Stock 124 rims and black kidney grille. I am trying to decide between 15% and 20%. 35% is too light for me, I just put it up as a poll choice to see what people like.

Thank you

Mine is actually 30% all the way around which I like...20% was too dark for me personally.

(I've all ready been pulled over a few times for the 30%. 20% would push it I think)

I voted for 35%

Fine, I used to have double 5% all the way around and you get used to it.

Okay I just checked Florida law and it states that the front side windows can only be 28% and the rest can all be 15% except for the windshield of course.

I am now trying to debate whether to do 28% all around or 28% front 15% back side and rear.
Would having 28% and then 15% look funky? How does 28% look on a black car?

You lucky ba....ds!
We can't tint the front side windows at all so it's much more trickier to make a good looking tint.

My suggest to you is (what I would do), that tint all your side windows 28% and rear 15%. The side would look solid instead of a visible line in the middle.
