I am doing my best

If people could post some pictures with different tints that would help and be really nice.

Here's 20% all around on my black on black Audi...absolutely the best, 35 is too light and 15 or less would be really dark....

Thanks IceyTys, do you know if some tints look more shiny than others? I would rather have matte tint rather than shiny tint. Have you ever heard of solar tint?

Here's my black sapphire with 20%. I have the grey dakota leather, and in the daytime the tint does not look as dark. This pic was taken in the late afternoon in the shade. The interior color will affect the look of the tint quite a bit, and I thought 35% would have been too light for my taste.

Thanks I think I will go that route. This is my final decision everyone: I am going 20%.

I was going to get 30% but since my interior is Dakota Beige I am going with 20%

Ok, A friend of mine has the tint from the place where I am getting it. Their tint is a little lighter than most tints. So I think I will be getting 15% around. Maybe 5% on the sunroof.
Do you know what happens when cops catch you with illegal tint?

35% is legal in TX for drivers, passengers and rear. So i did that and just put 20 in the rear which i think gave it a nice look.

In TX they will just give you a ticket.
