Tint Question

What do you guys think would be the best % tine for a Thunder Grey Lancer? I think that going too dark would look tacky. What do you guys think?

I'd say 20%. That what my brother has on his lancer and then 50% on the front windshield and it looks nice.

I have 5% on my TG, I think it looks good. Most of the time it blends right in with the color of the car.

stick with 20% all around.. if you're willing to go lower than that and risk safety because of poor visibility, then thats just stupid. i had 35% on my old lancer and i regretted it because it was too light. you can click the link in my sig if you want to see 35%

i've got 15% on all of my car and like it. hard to make lefts at night sometimes due to visibility issues. The police have never bugged me about it, even when giving me speeding tickets. I couldn't see going any darker. Check my profile if you want to see it on a silver lancer.

I always thought the slight mirror tint in silver looks good on the thunder grey.
