I'd like to see someone tint their back window, and just their back window darker than the other windows. It would be harder to notice the change to a darker tint, since a lot of light comes in and hits the back window from the front window.

so
35_35
35_35
20

instead of
35_35
20_20
20

I'd go 20% on a black car. Makes it look like the windows were painted black. I'ts nice. But on lighter cars it could look really ghetto.

I have a 2005 Lakeshore Slate G coupe and I am thinking of going all around with 35%, but I am a little worried about doing the front window. I saw Athens G's window tint, but was not sure if that was all around 35%. AthenBlue's looks very sleek. I was suprised in illinois I am able to do 35% all around. It still seems dark to me, especially if it is all around.

I am getting the tint applied next week for FREE. Guess I could do the front window also. If I don't like it I can take it off. I just wonder how it is at night.

I hate cops in CA, I got pulled over 2 weeks ago for window tints and I have 35% all around. Today, I got another tint ticket, even though I told him I just got one and havent had a chance to fix it yet, still gave me another one....

First post. (hope I didn't need to post elsewhere first) I have an 03 Desert Plat sedan. I was worried about it being to dark at first but went ahead and did the 20% all the way around and a 6" windshield strip. now i'm wishing I would have went darker and 8" on the windshield strip...

I have liquid platinum.
I have 30% tint all the way around, here is a few pics of it in the light, in the shade, and other variants.

















Hope this helps you some.

Tofu, I have 35% and looks nowhere NEAR as good as yours.

I recently just went to an all G/Z meet and most of the people there had 20% and my 35% looked that much worse.

I'll be removing my tint this weekend (hopefully all goes well) and throwing on 20% next week.

I just put on 25% on mine. It cost a little extra because it was a higher quality film than the 20% but it was well worth it. Can still kind of see in during the day but just dark enough at night.

I'm probably going to go back during the summer and put 50% on the windshield just to protect the dash...but I might lower it down to 40% just to make the whole car slicker. I have a Black Obsidian 2007 g and they measured the tint reader at 23% which is perfect. And looks fantastic!

I had 28% which is an odd percentage but it was either 15% or 35%.

If you're going to spend the $$ on tint, black it out on the rear, and get 20-35% on the 2 fronts.

I got 5% Limo tint on all my rears, and 20% on the 2 fronts.
