Window tint on WDP

I have searched an found a couple pictures but I am trying to decide whether or not to tint my 07 WDP TL-S. Anyone have pictures of there white TL's with with tint? My old black M3 has 20% all the way around and I loved it but I am afraid I am not going to like it with the sharp contrast on white. I was thinking about doing 35% all the way around but that may not even be worth it.

Thoughts?

Well hell, that looks perfect. I was afraid 35% would not even be worth it but that looks great!

Thanks!

Edit: Curious, what springs/coilovers are you running in those pics?

Thanks, I can only run 35% all around here legally.

I am on A-SPEC shocks and Tein S-Tech springs.

Of course those pics were taken on a cloudy day. I ran 20% on mine and loved it. Sorry, no pics as I'm at work right now.

08A-SPEC- what brand and line of tint do you have? I'm planning to have my WDP tinted within the next few weeks but can't decide on the brand and color. I am considering Johnson or solargard 40% and or llumar 35%(which is really 38%). Mine had 18% when I purchased it and I removed it due to it being too dark. IMO, solid black windows take away from the clean look of the car.

I am looking for this look, but I'm not sure if johnson greyston 40% will appear this way on WDP. Nice and Clean.

fyi, i have the same tint as 08-Spec. it is 35% CERAMIC. metallic will look lighter. and also it is technically not legal, the 5% oem tint will knock you down to around 32% and FUCK YOU. I may need to remove mine and get it redone again to pass tint inspection.

I believe mine is llumar brand. All I know is the place that did it was in business for 20+ years and I see Bentleys, Ferraris, Lambos, and Benz's getting tinted there all the time. So I figured I couldnt go wrong there getting a lifetime warranty.
