window Tints

Im trying to get some window tints, can u all please post pics of ur cars with different % tints. Do some 20% all arounds, mixed 35% and 20%, and so on. Im trying to get ideas on which looks better, and also give me some feedback on how dark the 20% are because ive heard its impossible to see out of the windows at night with 20% is that true or is it an exageration?


Im sure it cant be that dark that you wont be able to see and crash and hit an object in a parking garage or other cars is it?

If it is hard to see out of 20% are 35% better?

35% all around







Of course I wish it was darker, but its the darkest you can go legally in NC. My roommate last year had a 07 A4 3.2 with 15% all around and it wasnt hard to see out of at night at all. Backing up at night was a little tricky sometimes, but usually there were plenty of street lights around that we could see just fine. Now he has a 08 avalanche with 5% all around and the whole windshield tinted 35% and a 10" 5% strip running across it. now talk about being a bitch to drive at night

I had to ask but are you retired Navy pilot or something? Just curious. Notice you have the aviator wings on your car and obviously your signature is blue angles.
