To dark of a tint?

I just got my windows tinted at 15% and it came out a little darker than I expected. The pics don't show it great but you can see me when I'm in it. I just want to know what you guys think about it.

I wanted to get them all one color and was torn between 15% and 20%. Kinda wish I went with 20%, now I'm just hoping the cops don't get all on my case too fast

Actually, right now I'm in the St. Louis area for school, so I don't know what the Chicago cops with think. The rims I want are the O.Z. Crono Evolution 17's. They look very much like the stock oz rims and I want to keep that look to a point. Thanks for the good feed back so far by the way guys

Well, maybe I'm worried about nothing then. I just don't want to get a ticket. I've never had tinted windows before now.

So far in the 4 months i've had it I got 19 fix-it tickets.

Im sick of those tickets, even though my neighbor signs em off for me (yes, he's a cop). Im gonna get something from my optometrist to legalize my tint for me. The reason I have such dark tint is cuz @ night I hate those cars with those ultra-bright HID's and those lifted trucks with their beams aimed right in your mirrors. Also I have it for security... If I have stuff in the car I dont want people outside to know what i have inside and try to break into the car. Also if the car's a rockin' people won't come knockin'
