Pic request: light window tint

I want to have my windows done, but i'm unsure about lighter tint.

Post up your pictures of your tint, but keep in mind I dont want anything darker than 35% all the way around.

I had 20% on my 07 2.2 and i like it alot. Easy to see out of during the day however at night were i live little street lights so it was sort of difficult. I believe im going to try to get 25% on my 08 or maybe even 30%. I think regular tints are 2%, 5%, 20%, 35%, and 50%. Some people can make custom tints though.

i'm hoping to find something between 35% and 50%

50 seems too light but 35 is just a tad too dark for what i want

yea, thats how i feel about the difference between 20% and 35% i like the look of 20 but its just too dark and 35 is alittle too light. I think you will be pleased with 35 IMO.

this is my 2.2LT with 20%

another downside about having a black car- even light tint looks dark

yep, you definitely cant read instructions.

that caprice doesnt look bad though, i thought with 35 all the way around it would look much darker. how's visibility at night?

Visibility is great. I actually barely tell its on there looking out at night. Looking in it does darken up at night. I would go 20% next time though, just a shade darker, and visibility is still good at night. I have 20% on my Cobalt, and it doesn't bother my visibility much.

From: Outside looking in
Here is my car. 23% on back windshield, and 35% down the sides. People ask why I went with a darker shade on the back windshield, and it's due to when looking from the back of the car through the glass, you see through the front windshield which makes the tint look lighter. When you look through the sides, you see window tint on the other side of the car. Make sense? If you walk around my car the windows look like they match in terms of which grade of tint.
