here is mine at 35% full sun




and then in the dark




It also matters what kind of film you use... i have 3m, it has a layer of reflective in it so the windows appear darker then they actually are. 35% looks good on the white because it looks darker, and with the 3m you cant really see in the car as it is

I just had the car done 50% all around (nothing on the windshield) and I can safely say that I would not have gone with anything else...

Although I wanted tint not for it's properties of "hiding" people that are inside the car, I really just wanted something that connected the windows together aesthetically - you can still see in the car both day and night, and you can also see VERY clearly out of the windows at night... Yet at the same time the car has more of an "exclusive" look to it.

Since our interiors are black, there is no reason to go with anything dark. I think dark tint on brand new cars looks very tacky.

The already present contrast on our Wicked White Evos of the *smoked* headlights/taillights and other features such as the CF part of the wing presents a pretty nice canvas to play around with... I bit the bullet and got 50% although nobody on the forums had it, and I love it!! 35% would have been too dark.

I have 35 all around on RR Evo. I got pulled over in NY and got a ticket for tinted window and it read I had 28% tint on his device. The car already has some tint so it will be darker than 35%.

50% is nice, 35% is better, IMHO. I wouldnt do 20% or 5% - thats ghetto tint. Personally, I have 35% on my Evo tinted with Llumar film which is guaranteed for life. Click my for sale post below if you want to see pics...

Lol yea the guys has been avoiding me to the max and im mostly likely going to have to get custom brackets made now. I really just want to send him back the exhaust and get a refund but I dont want to spend the money to ship it.

But back to the topic on hand I have 18% tint I believe and I like it very much not too dark or light...I think there like 2% too illegal though but cops dont usually give ppl crap about tints here. I will try to get a pic up when I get a chance.
