Front windshield tint?

I got my windshield tinted today 50%. I don't know if I like it or not. From a distance you can't even notice it is tinted. When you are standing about a foot away you can only see the steering wheel but you can't see the person inside. It is not a black like I thought it would be. It is more of a grey so it doesn't look tinted.

I paid 100 dollars for it this morning and I am thinking about calling back tomorrow and saying I hate it, it is to light. Can we work out a deal for 35% tint.

What do you all think I should do?

I have wheat interior, 20% front tints, and 5% rear tints.

HELP!

50% is perfect for windshield tint, IMO. Wait to drive the car at night before you make any final decisions. 50% doesn't affect night driving at all in my experiences, but I wouldn't go any darker than that.

And $100 is too much for windshield tint. I'd pay $65 tops.

it doesnt affect visibility whatsoever even in the rain, but from outside it looks veryy dark, also at night time it looks darkk but not from inside looking out, it looks like 35% from outside when is raining even with the tan interior, i got mine done here in NJ in Bloomfield the shop is called strictly window tinting. is 60 bucks for the full windshield and 30 bucks extra for the sunstrip, i did the strip first so if i remove the 50 the strip doesnt come off with it

These all have the 50% on the windshield. Some look okay, some look like nothing is there.
