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.

Looks darker than it actually is due to reflections, but its pretty clean.
