What Tint...?

I was wondering wat the best looking tint is in your guys opinions is for the coupe. I bought the car used and it already has 5% in the back, so the only windows i need tinted are obviously the 2 door windows.
my car is Ivory Pearl

and also..how much should i be expected to pay for this (im in cali)
thanks

my car came w/ 15% tinted in the rear, so I went with 15% in the front for $45. I think it's perfect.

20 all around is still the way to go. a really dark tint just doesn't look right on an IP...except for Ludecrasher's ride

I'd continue it with 5%...it doesn't look right with different shades of tint.

5% is pitch black at night if you're trying to reverse. im at 17% all around and its pretty dark to see from there. althought 5% all around probably looks really nice from the outside. 15-20% is best imo =)

im a huge fan of 5% all the way around and 35 down the entire windshield, but thats me. My old G sedan was like that and my 06 black coupe will soon be like that. I can give you pics of the sedan if you want

i hate different % tints on a car so do 5% if thats what you already have. i currently have 20% but id like to go darker. 5% is too dark for me so ill probably go with 15% soon.

I've seen both 35% and 20% tints.
IMO, 20% tint looks much better.
