So my old car i had black interior and exterior and had 20% all the way around so it looked fairly dark mainly at night and never had any issues, wanted to get 5 in the back and 20 up front its just i hate the appereance of mismatched tint, now on my 07 navy blue tl i have light grey interior and wanted to go darker for that reason and was meaning to ask do you think it would look like a drastic transition from the diver and passenger 15% and all the back windows 5%? I dont mean being able to see thru it wise i just mean how noticiable would it he that there different percents, drop some pics and opinions

 

It's fine. won't notice.

 

This is a debate i had in my head to this day, 15 years on.
i want the darkness of 5% without the plastic window look.
So i had to settle for 15-20% tint because i want it to look dark and also see through because it looks nice. 5% just looks like a plastic panel and 5% is my ideal but practicality calls for the 15-20%. But one thing is for certain for me, same tint % all around. The mismatch is very noticable and bothers my ocd ass.

 

it bothers me too which is why i was wondering if it would be a crazy noticeable difference having 15 in front 5 in the back, i don’t mind the fact that it looks as if its a panel, just wondering how drastic the transition from front to back would be

 

I just did 15% all around and it looks much darker than my previous 20% on the TL. I think 15% all around would look great, but even if you wanted to go 5% in the back and 15% on the rest of the windows, the difference would be negligible.

 

my current setup is below (10 rear, 20 front), and while i also thought i would hate non-symmetry, it's been 9 years and i still love the look every time. i didn't want to risk it any more getting tickets for a dark front even though i've received 3 fix it tickets over those 9 years to remove it haha

if you want symmetry, go 20% all around, it's the most popular option right now

 

^ damn that looks great!!

 

The transition would be noticed in the day time when light is shining through the windshield. During cloudy, evening and night, will look identical.
