Anyone with 35% tint all around?

Hi, I'm thinking of going 35% all around the car to get that even look, if anyone on the board has any pics they can post so I can see the difference/darkness etc.. I'd sure appreciate it. TIA

It's real hard to capture the darkness due to lighting from the sunlight... I personally think 20% is a good look.

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
Just remember in California Tinting the front side windows and the windshield (except for a narrow band at the top of the windshield). is Illegal. If you get a ticket you will have to remove it. http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/answers.html

35% is hardly noticeable, since I have it on my windshield. I would go with either 15 or 20% all around. You won't notice it is dark from inside the vehicle, but you will enjoy the feeling of not been seen outside and thinking you are in aquarium.

I run 20% all around and 15% in the back.

I'll get pics up this afternoon.
