Default Window Tint

I'm getting my '65 Mustang tinted. I was looking for pictures of different % tints and opinions on what you think looks the best.
Thanks

Im thinking about tinting my windows too. My bro had it done to his crown vic and when I felt how much cooler it stayed inside when parked outside I was nearly sold on the idea...not so much for looks but for the fact that it takes the interior temp from 120ish to like 90 or 100.

With that said I was considering a mirror tint not the generic black...So far thats about all the research I have done.

I need to know if you can get it in a % or if its all or nothing
How much it cost compared to black
Why no one else has it

don't know where you guys are at but in texas it has to be 25 or higher. the only thing bad thing is that after 20 it goes to 35. I put medium i think it is 20 it is ilegal but I always have my windows down no a/c. was going to go limo but I don't know why I didn't[:@]. The darker it is helps the interior from fading. A while ago I had a car with speakers on the back so I decided to go with double limo that way they couldn't see my stuff. Bad idea and night when I needed to back up it was hard it was like I didn't have a window, had to ask my passenger to help me buy getting out and letting me if it was clear. So I took it off and went with limo only.

I think it looks good on dark colored cars but not the light ones, like the classic whites and yellows.

Looks like anything stronger than 20% is overkill, I can barely see the difference between then,,,
