Tinting a white car...how dark?

It is time for window tint. I am unsure of how to dark to go. The car is white. I want people to notice the car, not how dark the window tint is. Do you guys thing 35 is a good tint to accomplish this?

how dark the tints will look depends a lot on the color of your interior. if you're interior is light (beige or grey) you should consider going darker than 35% if you want the tints to be noticable. For a white exterior, the darker the better, IMO, if you can get away with limo tints, I'd say go ahead and do it because it will look great.

Black interior....do you think a really dark tint will pull attention away from the car? I want people to see the car when they look..not just windows.
