Window Tinting

I currently own an 06 G35 coupe and wondering what % tints would look best on an ivory pearl coupe. I don't want it too dark that it is hard to see or being pulled over all the time. But I dont want it too light that it is clearly visible during daytime.

I'd go with 17% or 23%; I think both look great, but I ran 23% just because my interior is dark. If you have a light interior, go with the 17%

If you have a dark interior 35% should be fine..

20% all the way around is very good. Word of advise from a very good friend, who's a cop - the moment you get stopped by police, turn on your interior lights (if after dusk) and lower both your windows, that way they know you're cooperating and not hiding anything. It kind of make them feel uneasy approaching a vehicle when they can't see inside that's why the extra hassle re: tints.

ahaha thanks for the advisee.
yeah, I was debating over 35% or 20%.
I'm just a bit worried that i will have poor visibility while driving at night.
I have IP on beige btw

I have 20% on all 3 of my vehicles. I've never been pulled over for it. It's dark enough to be worthwhile but not a safety issue.

I have 20 in the back 35 in the front and I like it and not problems so far by the POlice. Only complaint is that it is a little hard to see at night when trying to back up...Id do 35 all around.

Its not hard to see at night with 20%...The only issue I've ran into was parallel parking and watching the curb. I always roll my window down to see the curb
