Tint Examples

Agree. These threads aren't as helpful as people believe. 15%, 20%, 35%, can look the same depending on lighting (e.g., natural v. artificial), lighting conditions (e.g., sunrise v. sunset), quality of the photograph, brand of film, color of the car, color of the interior, whether the windshield is tinted, and the list goes on. Blindly going for 15% because it looked good on a car you saw on the forums isn't the move.

Your best bet is to go to your shop of choice and see the films in person. Most shops will even place samples on your window free of charge at your request and you can live with them for a few days before deciding. It's not the same as having the entire car tinted; however, it's better than nothing. You can also take a look at cars at the shop that are currently being tinted or recently completed to give you a flavor for how it will look.

Absolutely best to go see it in person and on other cars.
Here is a chart they had where I went, each place will use a different manufacturer as well most likely.

You have strong opinions, but to each his own.
I tinted mine 50% and I love it, keeps the car a but cooler, looks great is not at all an issue at night, etc.. I would do it again.

I am planning to do the same (50% all around). Virginia is strict about tint. I could go 35% in the rear, but I think it may look better to be consistent all the way around. No windshield tinting for me.

Ended up sticking with my original number and did 35% sides and back. Couldn't be happier with the end result. Appreciate everyone who jumped in with examples and opinions... hard to go wrong with these cars!

My windshield is 35%

I ended up going with 15% all around and skipping the windshield for now.. I did have him tint out the rear diffuser reflectors though which makes it look so much cleaner.
