What Tint % is best

I have a Platinum Graphite Metalic 2007 G 35 S Sedan. The Interior color is Graphite Black. I was wondering everyones opinion? is 20% all around going to be to dark with the dark interior and exterior. Or is a combo going to look better like 20% rear and rear sides & 35% on the front. I want a nice clean look. I live in Cali I know tint laws vary thanks all help appreciated.

I've got 35% all around on the same color car as yours, however i wanted Platinum tint which is slightly reflective but the tech didn't recommend it since he said any metalic tint will potentially interfere with my Nav/XM reception. With that said I think the Platinum tint will look best on that color car. Also looks is a biased question, as it varies from person to person. GL

I think 20% is best. I have 35% right now, I think it's a little light.

The first thing you should do is check your state's laws for tint.
States differ on what % is allowed.

I have an IP coupe with Stone interior. I went with 20% and I love it! However, if I could do it again, I would try 15% because of my light interior.

Since you live here you know what might happen by going too dark, with a sedan I'd do 20% on all windows except the drivers/passengers doors and 35% there. Leave the sunroof shade open so it appears the front windows aren't as tinted....you might survive and it will look "Great!"

I have 15 on the back and 35 on the front. I like it but personally, 15 is a tad bit too dark and 35 is way too light. 20 would be perfect and if I had to it all over again I'd get it the same all the way around and not diff front and back.

As dark as your local laws allow.

I have an 09 PG/graphite interior with 35% all around. Personally, I think you should with either 35% or 20% all around, I don't like the look of 2 different %'s on a car. Here are a few pics of my car.
