In California 20% Max on front side windows, so I used Huper Optik ceramic 20 all the way around (hate the look of back windows tinted differently) and it is just amazing how much heat it blocks out. Very Cool stuff !!

Amigo, here is the 50%, but unfortunately it's evening time here in New Orleans, so the low light level makes it look darker than it really is. I'll get more pictures this weekend in the bright sun. In the daytime it is noticable, but very dark at all. Notice I didn't include much of the car, so you guys can't see how dirty my rims are!

Where in California did you get it done? I am in the market of finding a good tint in Orange County.

70 is a waste imho it wont even look tinted and there isnt much heat reduction even if you go with a high quality film like llumar or 3m. i used to be in the business and i never ever did a job with less than 50. i personally would do the 35, it gives the car a classy look without being to dark to see through and offers the best protection and heat disipation but thats just me, in the end you're probably going to regret not going darker from the start.

Amigo, I tend to agree w/ John. Let me get you a better picture this weekend of the 50 in daylight. The picture I posted is deceptively dark due to the late hour at which I took the picture. The 50 is really hardly noticable in bright daylight, but I can really tell a difference in the heat reduction.

My installer did the 35 ceramic Huper Optik on his wife's car with a double layer on the two rear windows because of their new born. Looked good.

I like to see your 50% again. Remember I have mystic blue....does not look too well with very dark tint...my opinion
