Tint %
Looking for opinions on which tint % to choose from. I narrowed it down to 35% front sides, 20% rear sides and 20% rear or 50% front side, 35% rear side and 35% rear. Basically where I live only the front is regulated at 50%. Our windows seem pre- tinted therefore even 50% would put me over the limit. Opinions?

I went 35% on the front sides and 20% on the rear sides and back window. Works well in this sun laden land of Las Vegas and also looks good per my pics on the pic thread.

The legal limit here in Colorado is 30% which is what I went with.
I wanted to go a little darker (20%), but I didn't want to take that risk.
I'm not a fan of having a difference in tinting between the front doors and rear doors, unless you went with a 30%/20% where the difference in darkness is not as noticable.

here in mn, since the max tint if pretty high, you see a fair number of cars with light-medium tint on the front doors and limo tint on the rears. I don't mind it on my SUV, but sedans with such obvious differences in the tint just don't look right to me. Yours looks very nice though!

You're right, I can't really tell a difference between the front or back.

Tint is very hard to capture in a picture, lots of things can have an effect on how it looks, here is mine with 25% all the way around and it looks darker than your 20%
go figure
and in this one it looks almost pitch black....

Sorry but it has been raining so can't get any good sunlight pictures yet.
