lighting, what color interior you got, what is on the other side of the car (seeing through windows into a dark background might make it look darker), etc

My 35% actually looked really dark once the sun started to set a bit. Direction of sunlight apparently plays a big part.

@Red -- I tinted all 4 door windows all the same %..I dont personally like 2 different shades along the side of the car but to each their own! and the law too I guess! I was going to have my sunroof tinted but I wanted it to be an extra bit of light inside to make the tints look lighter(not sure how much this really helps)..you can always close the shade..but dont forget the tint protects your interior so if you dont close your shade maybe the tint is a good idea!

If the car is facing into the sun and the windshield is taking most of the light the tints look A LOT lighter..any other situation I think 35% is dark enough. on mine you can see a silhouette but not clearly into the car.

its already tinted and i would go with the same all around. You may wanna check your local laws for tint tho. Some states dont allow the fronts to bea very dark.
