So after a million opinions on how dark to go with the car, i went with 35% all the way around and it was a mistake. I knew i shoulda went with the 20% like i planned. Two tinters near me said 35% would be pretty dark cause the interior is all black and the car too, but it's way too light. So, time i gotta shell out more cash to have it retinted, doh. Gonna take pics of it now as soon as i can.

that's another option...u can also tint the front windscreen to get the interior a little darker...it's a risk though.

take it back to them and tell them your not happy with what they did. Say that you where led to believe that it would be darker than it is. They can add tint on top of the tint already on and it will be darker.
