What tint percentage should I get?

I'm thinking about tinting my car, it's a tarmac evo. I'm thinking either 15 or 10 percent but i ain't sure what it looks like. Anyone have any pictures of tinted windows so i can get an idea of what the car will look like? I plan on tinting the side windows and the back. Thanks alot. If possible make the car silver or black but it doesn't really matter. Thanks alot

if you are planning on tinting your windows with an illegal percent then i would go with 5%. it is practically black and looks great. i wouldn't put 10 or 15 on my car. i would simply go all the way. if you want legal though, you'll probably need 35%.

You can see through 20 percent tho, I had that on my jeep and it looked horrible.

Here's a pic of my 20% on the rear compartment (I left the sides alone). I think it looks pretty good.
