Carbon Grey Pearl + Tint?

Any suggestions on tint percentage for a Carbon Grey Pearl? I don't like really want dark tinting, I don't want my visibility terribly impeded, just something that looks nice and keeps me a bit cooler and hidden. I was thinking 35%. Anyone have a Carbon Grey Pearl with tint? I need some pictures or suggestions here. Thanks in advance!

There are a few photos here somewhere of that exact combo. I'll be going somewhere in between 20% - 35% soon,

My vote is for 35%. I have 35% on my opulent blue pearl - and I think it is perfect.

Yeah I think I'm going to go with the 35%. It's dark enough so I don't feel like I'm in a fish bowl. With Carbon Gray Pearl I could probably get away with a bit lighter tint, but 35% should be ok.

I have NBP on black and went 35% all the way around. I think it looks good but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like it. I would go with 35%. 50 you cannot notice and 20 you would probably get pulled over on every street. 35% looks good.

Also I guess it depends on your area. By me you can have 35% all the way around and 50 up front but I did 35 up front. If I had gone with 20 they probably would stop me all the time in northern Va.

I have carbon grey pearle with 20% titanium tint - looks awesome. I'll post some pictures, but it's been raining in Philly for about four weeks in a row, nearly everyday.

The 20% titanium looks great with the CGP because the silvers compliment each other.

Oh, one more thing for folks with window tinting - because you can't have glass cleaners with ammonia for cleaning windows, I tried this stuff called Plexus that cleans all plastics, including window tint - worked great and my tint even has titanium in it (alledgedly).

Check it out
