Window tint percentage

What are most people doing for window tint? I mean ceramic or standard and what percentage. Im thinking 35 up front and 20 in the rear and back window. I dont have much experience with the ceramic tinting but heard its nice. Im getting it done on tuesday. I had a car back in the day that was limo all around and I had to roll down the drivers window to turn left to see the median. Little too dark

I like having matching tint all around. Blends with the car and looks alot better imo. I'm having mine tinted next week and I'm doing 30 all around with no windshield strip.

You're probably right I'll probably stick with the same tint percentage on all of the windows

I went with 20 all around. 30-35 was way to light. I'll get some pics posted a little later. I really like the look. Not too dark and not too light.

It's been raining a lot here so haven't had any decent weather for pics. Here's some right after it was done.

Looks great. Black cars look so classy. I love the wheels. I wished my car had those wheels vs the 5 spokes. I've been looking for some aftermarket wheels or some replicas of those titanium wheels.

I'd have to agree that 70 windshield and 30 all around is pretty perfect for a car with a black headliner. Any darker and it starts getting ahrd to see out the side windows at night.

When the car does not have a black headliner, I like to go darker.

I used spectra photosync all around and it works amazing! I got 35% on the side windows and the clear film on the front. I live in Houston where it is a good 110 degrees every damn day, and this tint makes the heat a nonfactor now. If any of yall are in houston, check out EVS Motors, they did my tint

For those with front windshield tints, do you guys mount any dash cams, radar dectectors, EZpass, etc. on it?

I want to mount a sticky pad Blackvue but I'm worried about removal later on.

I have had a sunpass stuck to my previous cars windshield and was worried about the same thing.

However, after work one day, I let it back in the sun, it came right off with no problems whatsoever.

I think that sorta depends on film you have on the front windshield. Cheap films I've seen will get the top layer STRIPPED just by having something as weak as scotch shipping tape laying on top of it. Thicker/higher quality films should be fine as long as there's some care put into it. I have a blackvue on my front windshield and an EZ tag, I don't have any issues.

If you're really worried, I'm sure they can do a cut out for the stickers/blackvue base.

You say 30 you mean 30%VLT? only 30% of the light is passing through.

I did 30% all around and I thought it was definitely too light, so I got it redone in 20% all around and it's perfect. I'm not even talking about gangster limo tint look, just a decent amount of tint and it took 20% to look good.
