15% tint

Does anyone have Pictures of 15% tint? I have a laser blue sedan thinking of getting the windows tinted. Any pictures would be helpful. 10 or 20 percent would be good to see also

mine looks like this but you really cant notice unless your looking for it.

if your worried about it you can get a vinyl strip going across it.

I would do the front, but getting a tinting ticket would suck. PS: what tail lights are those? ^^^^^^^

Def get the black vinyl overlay onthe dots in the rear. Thats what I have and I love it. Looks alot better than just putting tint over it. I have 15% tint all around my car. Love it

A good tint guy can. The guy who did mine the first time did it perfectly. Had to have it redone after an accident and insurance had some other joker do it and fuct it all up.

$250 for a sedan isn't bad. I paid $200 for front, rear, back, windshield strip, and black vinyl on the dots. (Coupe)
