What percent window tint for pewter?

Hey all... I'm really trying to fingure this out... I have an 05 pewter silver and decided that i need to tint the windows cuz i'm starting to hate the fact that everyone knows what i drive on campus.. But... I don't know if i should go with 20% or 30%..... I don't want it too drak but i want it too look good and with that color i think it might be hard and am worrying about what it will look like. All opiions would be awesome!

thanks Chris

since you have a black interior, 35% would look nice and wouldn't be too dark.

Stick with 20%. 35% is too light, you'll regret you got 35% after you see it.

I would first focus on the laws in your area and if they give alot of tickets for tint that is over the legal limit. I have 35% on mine, and yes it could be darker but IMO it becomes a safety issue at some point. I am completley happy with 35% tints.

agreed! also, pewter and a lighter shade of tint will make your car look classy. go 20% unless you really don't any body to inside your car.

20% Tint will look nice, but by now everyone knows what you drive,

I agree with razorfish, do 20%, i got 35% and i DO regret it, i might even go get some 5% tints when i feel like peeling these off
