Tints for an Ivory Pearl G

Would like to get an opinion on what type/% tint would look best on the Ivory Pearl. I've never tinted any of my previous cars but I think I need tints on this one. Thoughts???

I always thought that 35% all around is nice and classy looking. Not too light and not too ghetto...

What is the color of the interior? I've liked white/beige cars with Bronze with tints.

BTW I have 40% tints all around. Car is GE/Charcoal Tint is Gray.

23% in mine, weird though. When the car is in the garage, I can see inside as clear as day. When its outside, you can barely see in, which is nice. Sorry no pics.

PS The next level up, you could barely notice the tint, the one lower was too dark.

This is 35% all the way around. I agree with SPEEED. I would have loved to do 20%, but its just a shade too dark for CA Highway Patrol to let slide. We aren't allowed to have front windows tinted at all, so this is just dark enough to be classy yet not so dark that cops will want to pull me over because of it.

At Least 35% If You Don't Get At Least 35% There Is No Point Getting Tints.

i would keep in my mind the area u live in. i live in philly and police here are not as strict about tints compared to areas like NY and Cali, etc. I have an IP and have 20% tint all around.

i agree with Gpang.

Here are some pics of my 35% Huper Optik. Granted, it's a Blue Slate, but it can still give you an idea of shade...









Also, in addition to the right shade, you also want to get high quality tint. Huper Optic, 3M, Llumar, are three good brands to consider.

I've got 35% all around as well for the same reasons as you. I felt any darker than that I was asking for trouble from law enforcement. Also, the darker you go the less visibility you'll have at night.

Both cars posted above look great! I think 35% all around is pretty much perfect.

35% here. I think it looks darker on IP than other colors. I've been asked several times if my tint is legal.
