Just got tinted (now with pics)

Just got my tint done today. Looks pretty good. I got 20% all around with a 5" lip on the windshield. I didn't have time to take any pics because by the time I got home it was dark out. I know it's the first day so I can't fully judge yet, but it's lighter than what I wanted so I'm not too sure what to do about that.
I'll post some pics tomorrow after work.


PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!
These were all I had time for before it started snowing and ruined picture time...






Now that I've lived with it for a day, I really really like it. I can't help wanting a tad darker (maybe 15%), but it's still awesome.

Yea I like that you can't really see in at night but I wanted that more during the day too. But like I said I only had it from "dusk" on. Tomorrow will be the big test. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if I still want it darker...

All good points. I'm sure it will grow on me. Don't get me wrong, I like it a million times better than it was without it. And the other thing is, like you guys said, it will stand out a little less to cops. But then again, it's gonna be the same ticket no matter how dark the tint is

Haha, I'm the complete opposite. I think 20% is the lightest I would ever go. I originally wanted to do around 15%, but went with 20% instead. But like I said, it still looks way better than nothing at all haha.

Yea I'm way more afraid of cops now. Ironically, the second I pulled out of the tint place BAM, there was a cop about 50 down the road haha. I could just picture having the tint for like one minute before getting pulled over for it. That's my luck.
