G35 Coupe Window Tint

I thinking about to get my car tinted in a few days. I was thinking what percent of tint should I get that will look good on a SILVER G35!

Legal is 32% ,but i am going below that for SURE!!!

Please post your G35s that you have got tinted with percent. Thanks.

20% Front
5% Rear
Some angles the front tint looks a lot darker, just diff angles.
I had 15% up front but at night it was a little too dark for me.
The place I get my tint done uses HD tint, atleast thats what they called it.
It has more of a warmer, slightly brownish color I like it more than the grey tint. The HD diffuses the light a lot better than the grey tint.

20% all around seems about right.

This has been discussed so many times, especially from members here in CA. cause we're not allowed tint on our doors....zero. You know what your state allows, stick with that % on your doors and go slightly darker on the back window. Not 5% like some recommend, with the % you can't see anything behind you at night!

Finally decided to get 15%. My car is at the shop right now getting tinted I will post pics up later on. IMO i saw 15% on another car it did not look as dark that I thought it would look.

Kind of a bummer though. It looks a little weird sometimes with nothing on the front windows and having the back dark.

Dark tints are overrated.

35% all around.

Personally I like dark tints because it doesnt burn my butt in the hot summers and keeps that black interior cool. Smoked windows are nice too its whatever floats your boat

I'll agree that 5% is a pain in **** to see through at night but if you like me and don't drive at night often its great. Privacy and less heat (esp in this summer).

Even when I do drive at night, I don't mind rolling the windows down.

Also since your considering going below your legal state limit, you should get front windshield 50%. Had it on both cars I've owned and will for the next.
