IMO the cleanest tint is keeping the % the same all around...you pick the %. +1 5%

On a black car, I think it really matters the %. You're dealing with many different shades of black - the tires, the body of the car, the window trim, the wheel wells, etc. I like uniformity and think a black car that flows the same black looks a lot better. I'm trying to figure out what would go best to make it look like one piece and not have two different blacks.

I went to my LASIK doctor and had him write a script for tint and got the ticket dismissed.

Pretty good actually. Little dry once in awhile, but nothing major.

Even the headlights came tinted

I have 5% all around on my car and with the eyebrow on the windshield. I don't think it looks ghetto at all, but it is a bit dark at night while backing up, and especially if it's raining. Eventually I'm going to have it all redone and put 20% on since I have the lighter interior. 35% would be too light for me.

I have 20% up front and 5% in the back. I like it. You cant see a danm thing in the back. It looks clean. Dark as hell, especially at night, its almost like wearing sunglasses when you sit in the back seat....
