I am stuck on what i wanna do tint wise on the car. Right now i am thinking i wanna do 35% all the way around including the front windows. I was also thinkin 5% back 3 windows and 35% front 2. I can't find any black cars with 35% all the way around. 35% should be pretty dark in the back 3 cause there is factory tint already.

what color is your interior?? If black, this will make the tints look even darker...why don't you try 20%??

I agree with making it 20% all the way around. Whatever factory is just add the appropriate percentage until its 20. I think it might lookgoofy to have a bunch of differnt percentages of tint.
