Best Tail Light Tint % - For Arctic White!
Hey gents,
What do you guys suggest would be the best tail light tint %. This would be a 3M Charcol Film. Also which configeration is the hottes? All blacked out, semi blacked out (Leaving the Reverse Light Un-Tinted) etc.... Let see some pictures. Also for the windows, would 35% suffice or 20%?

Tinting it will peal off. I had my 997 tail light painted than bake the clear on. Look like it came from factory

35% on a light color car looks even lighter than on a dArk colored car. The pic of the white car with those tints is prob 20% maybe even 15% but I think 20% is perfect personally it's dark enough to not be able to see in but not black where u can't see in or out and attract to much attention

Ya go with painted tail lights. I have 35% all the way around and its way to light for me , but the car came with it. I will be switching to 20% all around soon. Here is a pic of my tail lights.
