Default Tint on Vert ?

I have an appointment on Friday... not sure which level I want to go with. Leaning towards 35% all the way around but something slightly darker might look better. For those with dark verts, what do you think? Any pics of tint on your vert in the 20-35% range?

i have a black on black vert wit 35% on it it looks good . when its cloudy or night it looks really dark, sunny its dark but you can see through it. and at night its kinda hard to see through but not that hard, i think you should do 35% and the back jus a lil darker

Hey, so 35% is the most you can do legally (though I'm sure you knew that), but 20% should be pretty sweet looking all the way around. All my friends who have 35% said they wish they got the tints darker, but it definitely helps, its not completely worthless or anything. You can always pay the inspection station guys off like $20-$40 to pass with less (more?) than 35%, but its up to you. Plus the fees you have to pay if you get a ticket and removal.. Theres like a bajillion arguments back and forth about this, and no real answer, so its up to you. Me personally, I would want to go either 15% or 20%. I like living a bit dangerously .
Leme know how it goes (and if the place you got it at is quality).
Thanks,
FM

I don't have to worry about inspections so I say 5% all around. It would look good on that black stang.

All my pics are topless but I went with 20% front side and 13% rear and rear side. I'll have to retint later since I did not get my moleskins on soon enough to prevent scratching, and I'll go 20% all around.

yo Larmo, whatsup? havent heard from you in a while.
I got the 35% on the sides and back (the carbon fiber kind, without metal in it..) they did 5% on the 1/4s for free, but you cant see them anyways since I got louvers on em. If you find a good inspection place you should just got 15% all around. Good luck. Peace.

hey buddy... looks like you've had a lot done to your car in the last few weeks since we got together. Lookin good. Did that exhaust work out for you?
I'm settled on getting 20% all the way around, but I have yet to find a good shop close to me that will do it (illegally, might I add). Where did you get yours done? Remember I'm on the northside of Charlotte.
