35/20 tints

Hey all,

I'm planning on getting my windows tinted tomorrow. I'm getting the fronts tinted w/ 35% and the rear three tinted at 20%. The only question I have is, what does a 35%/20% tint look like? I'd like to go for a smooth and even tint, but I'd rather have the rear windows a bit darker than the fronts. Can anyone post their photos if they have a similar tint? Or can someone let me know if 35/20 will be way to different? Thanks!

I have 20% all around. I used to have 35% but it was too light for me.

That's pretty sweet. My brother talked me into 20% all around as well. Now it's time to decide if I want metallic or non-metallic tint.

Definitely go with Metallic.... they might be a bit more expensive but definitely better(would not fade), and looks better, too...

Only get metallic if you do not have Navi because the metallic flakes theoritically interfere with Navi signal...although I never had that problem.

I don't have navi . Although I wish I did . But at the same time, I've heard that the metallic tint affects internal radar detectors, which I plan on getting.

FYI... not sure if it's too late to help you out... but I have 35% sides and 20% rear (rear window only). I love it b/c I don't get harrased for the sides being to dark... any it's legal, but they look a little darker b/c the rear is blocking more light.....
